This turning attribute applies to both rough and finish passes. When Auto round is enabled, FeatureCAM automatically inserts arc moves on outside corners. The effects are:
- Minimum of wasted motion by the machine; however, the posted part program may be slightly longer in the number of blocks used.
- Burrs are removed, but otherwise the part has the same shape and dimensions given by the feature curve because the radius of the inserted arc is the same as the tool nose radius.
- Machine motion is smoother.
This is an example with Auto round turned off:
