Machining type
You can select the machining mode for milling the circular spigot as follows:
● Roughing
Roughing involves moving round the circular spigot until the programmed finishing
allowance has been reached.
● Finishing
If you have programmed a finishing allowance, the circular spigot is moved around until
depth Z1 is reached.
● Chamfering
Chamfering involves edge breaking at the upper edge of the circular spigot.
Procedure
1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been
created and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Milling" softkey.
3. Press the "Multi-edge spigot" and "Circular spigot" softkeys.
The "Circular Spigot" input window opens.
