Rough pass — Select this option if you want to have a rough operation on face features by default. You can override this selection at an individual feature level.
Finish pass — Select this option if you want to have a finish operation on Face features by default. You can override this selection at an individual feature level.
Finish allowance — This is a facing parameter for the amount of material to leave after the rough pass. You can enter a positive or negative value.
Facing stepover % — This is the width of cut for a facing operation specified as a percentage of the tool diameter.
Lateral overcut % — Enter the distance, as a percentage of the tool radius, that the tool cuts past the stock boundary in the direction of the cut, on the X axis (unless you have changed the Zigzag angle). The default value is 100% of the tool radius.
Last pass overcut % — This attribute applies to a Face feature. Enter the distance, as a percentage of the tool radius, that the tool moves past the stock boundary perpendicular to the cut, in the Y direction (unless you have changed the Zigzag angle). The default value is 20% of the tool radius.
Max depth of cut — This is the maximum depth of cut for facing tools.
Zigzag angle — Enter the angle in degrees (counter-clockwise from X) that you want to use to cut the Face feature.
