"From" and "To" Points
Lines and arcs are defined by their “From” point
(the point where they begin) and “To” point (the point
where they end).
Depth of Cut
When you’re programming the depth of cut, you’ll be
prompted to provide the “Begin” and “End” locations
for the Z-axis.
The location that you enter into the “Begin” field tells
MILLPWR
where you want the quill to begin cutting at
the programmed feed rate. The “End” location defines
the depth of the cut.
Always check that the “Begin” location is above the sur-
face of the workpiece.
Pass
“Pass” refers to the number of cuts that are used to machine an area to its “End” depth.
You can control the number of passes by entering a value in the “Pass” field whenever it
appears. (If you don’t want to program more than one pass, leave the field blank.)
