The Plunge Cut (CONTOUR OFF) is the default cut style. It is made when the cutter comes straight down into
the blank, backs off, and moves in again to make the next cut after the carriage has moved to the next cut
position.
A Contour Cut (CONTOUR ON) eliminates peaks between cuts. It is created when the cutter moves forward to
make the first cut, and then moves straight laterally to the next position before moving in to cut the next depth in
the sequence.
