Slot and Slot with Section Operation
| This operation generates a tool path along the centerline to the right or to the left of one or more profiles. Two types of slots can be defined: the Slot with constant depth operation machines the slot in several steps until the final depth is reached. In Slot with variable depth, the depth profile is also defined by a 2D section. The slot can be pre-machined using rough and semi-finish cycles. The finish cut produces a tool path according to the specified scallop height on the floor of the slot. With available parameters for the right and left extension and the side step, you can mill a slot wider than the tool diameter. |  |
