Use the Offset Flat Finishing strategy to create an offset toolpath on the flat areas of the model. Offset flat toolpaths are useful for finishing flat areas, the bottom of pockets and for high-speed machining.
Tip: Offset flat finishing provides a simple interface for machining flat areas of a model. More extensive flat machining options are available in the Model area clearance strategy.
The pages associated with the Offset Flat Finishing strategy are:
- Offset flat finishing — The main page used to define an offset flat finishing toolpath.
- Rest — Settings to create a toolpath from a reference toolpath. This page is only available if you select Rest machining on the main page.
- High speed— Settings for the smoothing options to avoid sharp changes in direction when high speed machining.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify the toolpath when calculating it.
The remaining pages are common toolpath strategy pages.
