Angle

The tool plunges into the material with the given ramp angle. The default value of 90 degrees causes a normal approach into the material. The tool enters the material at an angle to the first line or arc of the tool path. If the length required to perform the ramp angle is longer than the first tool path movement, SolidCAM generates a zigzag movement to plunge into the material.

Lead in/Lead out

You can control the way the tool approaches and retreats from the geometry. Choose an option from the list and enter the distance value for this option.
