Insertion 
 
Insertion strategy  
Helical: Insertion along helical path 
The cutter center point traverses along the helical path determined by the radius and 
depth per revolution. If the depth for one infeed has been reached, a full circle 
motion is executed in the plane. 
Oscillation: Insertion with oscillation along center axis of pocket 
The cutter center point oscillates along a linear path until it reaches the depth infeed. 
If the depth has been reached, the path is executed again in the plane without depth 
infeed. 
Center: Insert vertically in center of pocket 
The tool executes the calculated depth infeed vertically in the center of the pocket. 
Note: This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center or if the 
pocket has been predrilled. 
 
 
EP  Maximum insertion pitch (for helical insertion only) 
The helix gradient might be smaller in some geometric conditions.
 
mm/rev 
 
ER  Insertion radius (only for helical insertion) 
The radius must not be larger than the cutter radius, otherwise material will remain. 
Also make sure the pocket is not violated.
