Use the options in the
Cutting Depths area to specify the cutting depths, wall height, tool allowance, and tolerance.
- Start Depth — Enter the depth (Z) from the surface of the material at which you want to begin carving. This is the apex of the bevel-carving.
- Wall Height — Enter a value to specify the height of the profiled part of the carving. This is the vertical wall below the bevelled edge.
Note: If you choose to create a vertical wall, a profiling tool must be used when machining.
- Finish Depth — Enter the final depth (Z) for the tool.
Note: If you are cutting the machined vector artwork from the material block completely, the
Finish Depth
value must be equal to the
Thickness (Z) specified in the
Setup Job Dimensions dialog.
- Allowance — Enter a value in the box to specify the distance between the boundary of the selected vectors and the tool. Enter a positive value to keep extra material; enter a negative value to remove extra material.
- Tolerance — Enter a value in the box to specify how closely the tool follows the shape of the selected vectors. Entering excessively small values increases the size of the toolpath file and slows down calculation and machining times.
