V-Bit Carving panel — Cutting Depth

Use the options in the Cutting Depth area to specify the cutting depth, maximum depth and tolerance.

• Start Depth — Enter the depth (Z) from the surface of the material at which you want to begin machining.

• Limit tool maximum depth — Select this option to limit the depth at which the selected tools cut into the material block.
  • Maximum Depth — This box is available when Limit tool maximum depth is selected. Enter the maximum depth (Z) from the surface of the material to which the cutting tools can machine.
    Note: If the maximum depth is greater than the thickness of the material block, a warning is displayed when the toolpath is calculated.
• 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.
