Cutoff

The Cutoff operation is available for both 2-axis and 4-axis features.

This option is normally used after a contour has been cut with a retract operation.

Cutoff cuts the part of the contour left by the retract option. Machining is in the reverse direction to that of the machining curve, from the contour end point to the stop position. The wire stops before pulling away from the part. The stop location is shown as a small square.
