Technology
• Vortex milling
The milling cutter performs circular motions along the length of the slot and back
again.
• Plunge cutting
Sequential drilling motion along the tool axis.
Milling direction: - (except plunge cutting).
• Climbing
• Conventional milling
• Climbing-conventional milling
Machining
position
• Single position
Mill a slot at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
