Ramping

Use the Ramping page to specify how the tool descends into the block.

Slope angle — Enter the angle of descent as the tool ramps into the block.

Ramp diameter (TDU) — Enter the maximum circle diameter in Tool Diameter Units. Ramp moves are made in a circle spiralling down into the block.

Note: Tool Diameter Units is the distance relative to the tool diameter. So with a 10 mm tool and a TDU of 0.5, this gives an actual value of 5 mm.
