Description
Unit
Solid machining
(for roughing only)
● Complete machining
The rectangular pocket is milled from the solid material.
● Post machining
A rectangular pocket or hole has already been machined in the workpiece. This needs
to be enlarged in one or several axes. You must program parameters AZ, W1 and
L1 for this purpose.
