Parameter Description
Machining The following machining operations can be selected:
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇ (pre-finishing)
● ∇∇∇ (finishing)
● ∇∇∇ base (base finishing)
● ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
● Chamfering
Technology
● Vortex milling
The milling cutter performs circular motions along the length of the slot and back
again.
● Plunge cutting
Sequential drilling motion along the tool axis.
Milling direction: - (except plunge cutting).
● Climbing cutting
● Conventional cutting
● Climbing-conventional cutting
