Use the options in the
Cutting Depth area to specify the cutting depths, tool allowance, and tolerance:
- Start Depth — Enter the depth (Z) from the surface of the material at which you want to begin machining.
- Finish Depth — Enter the final depth (Z) for the tool.
- 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.
- Final Tool Allowance — If you are using more than one tool, specify the allowance to be left by larger tools for the smallest tool to machine when clearing around the selected vector artwork.
- 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.
