Bar Feed/Bar Pull

A Bar Feed feature provides support for both:

Bar Feeder:

Diameter Feed amount

Bar Puller:

Overlap Pull amount

How a Bar Feed/Bar Pull is performed:

1. For:
   • Bar Feed operations, the tool rapids to the point (Diameter, 0, Z-Clearance).
   • Bar Pull operations, the tool rapids to a point in front of the stock along the Z-axis and then feeds to the point (0, 0, Z-Clearance-Overlap).
2. The tool then feeds out the Pull amount or the Feed amount.
3. The feedrate is controlled by the FPM attribute.

Note: Bar Feed features are only simulated with centerline simulations. 2D and 3D simulations ignore these operations.
