Final cuts

The Final steps down dialog box enables you to define the parameters of the final cuts machining.

When the Final steps down check box is selected, the option is used.

The Number of steps value defines the number of final cuts.

The Step value defines the distance between two successive final cuts (Step down).

When the Final cuts option is used, SolidCAM performs the machining with the operation Step down from the Upper level till the Depth calculated according to the following formula:

Depth - Number of steps * Step down

From this depth, the machining is performed in a number of cuts determined in the Final cuts dialog box. The machining is performed in such manner until the full operation depth is reached.
