Turning Operation

This operation enables you to turn a longitudinal or facial profile. The resulting tool path can either use the turning cycles of the CNC-Machine, if they exist, or it can generate all the tool movements. If the tool movements are generated by the program, then minimum tool movements length is generated taking into account the material boundary in the beginning of the particular operation. The profile geometry is adjusted automatically by the program, if needed because of the tool shape, to avoid gouging of the material.

This operation can be converted to a Balanced Rough Operation. Click Convert to Balanced Rough in the Technology section.
