Parameters Description Unit
Machining
• ∇ (roughing)
• ∇∇∇ (finishing)
• Face
• Longitudinal
• Parallel to the contour
• From inside to outside
• From outside to inside
• From end face to rear side
• From rear side to end face
Machining
direction
The machining direction depends on the stock removal direction and choice of tool.
Position
• front
• back
• internal
• external
D Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇) mm
XDA 1. Grooving limit tool (abs) – (only for face machining direction) mm
XDB 2. Grooving limit tool (abs) – (only for face machining direction) mm
DX Maximum depth infeed - (only for parallel to the contour, as an alternative to D) mm
Do not round contour at end of cut.
Always round contour at end of cut.
