Surface quality
The Surface quality tab enables you to define the parameters that affect the surface finish quality.
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.
Maximum distance
This parameter enables you to get more points on surface to be machined even if the machining tolerance is the same.
Splitter flowline smoothing
In this option, the slider sets the degree of smoothing around the leading edge of the splitter.

This option is available only in the Roughing and Hub finishing technologies when the Advanced check box is selected. |
Tool axis smoothing
This value sets the degree of post smoothing for the tool axis. At 0% the tool is oriented exactly in its initially calculated point. The higher the smoothing, the more deviation is allowed from the initial orientation so that the different orientations bend together. |

The options of Splitter flowline smoothing and Tool axis smoothing are available only when the Advanced check box is selected. And these options are not available when SWARF is selected as the Strategy. |
