Machining type 
You can select the machining mode for milling the rectangular pocket 
as follows: 
  Roughing 
In "Roughing" mode, the individual planes of the pocket are 
machined one after another from inside out until depth Z1 or X1 is 
reached. 
  Finishing 
In "Finishing" mode, the edge is always machined first. The pocket 
edge is approached on the quadrant which joins the corner radius. 
In the last infeed, the base is finished from the center out. 
  Edge finishing 
Edge finishing is performed in the same way as finishing, except 
that the last infeed (finish base) is omitted. 
  Anfasen 
Beim Anfasen wird die Kante am oberen Rand der Tasche

    If you want to mill a chamfer and the corner radius was R = 0 during 
finishing, you must specify the radius of the finishing milling tool in 
parameter R during chamfering.
