Surface quality

The Surface quality tab enables you to define the parameters that affect the surface finish quality.

Surface quality

Cut tolerance

The Cut tolerance parameter defines the tool path accuracy. This value is the chordal deviation between the machining surface and the tool path. In other words, the tool path can deviate from the surface in the range defined by the Cut tolerance.

Step over

You can define either Max. Step Over or Constant Step Over the surface by entering the required value. Constant Step Over  is set by default.

Scallop

Scallop is calculated according to the tool radius and defined Step Over.
