Machining
• ∇ (roughing, plane-by-plane or helical)
• ∇∇∇ (finishing, plane-by-plane or helical)
• ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing, plane-by-plane or helical)
• Chamfering
Machining type
• Plane by plane
Solid machine circular pocket plane-by-plane
• Helical
Solid machine circular pocket helically
Machining
position
• Single position
A circular pocket is machined at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
• Position pattern
Several circular pockets are machined in a position pattern
(e.g. full circle, pitch circle, grid, etc.).
