FeatureCAM follows this general process to create a Cutoff feature:

  1. Determines what tool to use.
  2. Picks feeds and speeds based upon the material being machined.

    To view the recommended feed or speed value for a cutoff operation, click the operation in the tree view and then click the Feed/speed tab. The recommended feeds and speeds are derived from the Cutoff column of the turning feed/speed tables.

  3. Generates a cutoff finishing pass.
