4. The multi-edge is traversed again in a quadrant. This process is repeated until the depth
of the multi-edge has been reached.
5. The tool retracts to the safety clearance at rapid traverse.
Note
A multi-edge with more than two edges is traversed helically; with a single or double edge,
each edge is machined separately.
