Constant Z Finish Strategy

This strategy produces very high quality finish especially on steep surfaces and minimizes full 3-axis movements that slow down older machines and controllers. The Scallop option adjusts the necessary Z-down steps to the surface flow and results in shorter machining times.

When you click Data, the Constant Z Finish dialog box is displayed.

The following options enable you to machine wall and floor areas separately with different parameters.
