Perform Cutting
A three-dimensional object is cut in two stages: draft cutting and finishing.
First pass
Draft cutting
High-speed cutting that leaves a margin for finishing
Second pass
Finishing
High-precision cutting of the margin on the workpiece surface left by draft cutting
When finishing ends, cutting is complete.
Depending on the composition of the workpiece, however, finishing may not actual produce an attractive finish.
In such cases, use a file or the like to work it by hand.
