Machining type
You can select the machining mode for milling the longitudinal slot as follows:
● Roughing
During roughing, the individual planes of the slot are machined one after the other until
depth Z1 is reached.
● Finishing
During finishing, the edge is always machined first. The slot edge is approached on the
quadrant, which joins the corner radius. In the last infeed, the base is finished from the
center out.
● Finishing of edge
Edge finishing is performed in the same way as finishing, except that the last infeed
(finish base) is omitted.
● Chamfer
Chamfering involves edge breaking at the upper edge of the longitudinal slot.
