Slot side compensation
When you want to mill a contour on the peripheral surface ("peripheral
surface/peripheral surface C" machining plane), you can work with or
without a slot wall offset.
Slot wall offset Off
ShopTurn creates slots with parallel walls when the tool diameter is
equal to the slot width.
If the slot width is larger than the tool diameter, the slot walls will
not be parallel.
Slot wall offset On
ShopTurn creates slots with parallel walls also when the slot width
is larger than the tool diameter.
If you want to work with a slot wall offset, you must not program the
contour of the slot, but instead the imagined center path of a bolt
inserted in the slot whereby the bolt touches both walls. The
parameter D is used to specify the slot width.

Position Select from 8 different positions:
End face/End face C – Front
End face/End face C – Rear
Peripheral surface/Peripheral surface C – Inner
Peripheral surface/Peripheral surface C – Outer
End face Y – Front (only when Y axis exists)
End face Y – Rear (only when Y axis exists)
