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
• Climbing-conventional milling
Machining
position
• Single position
Mill a slot at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
• Position pattern
Mill slots at a programmed position pattern (e.g. full circle or grid).
