Custom Pocket
You can create a pocket from any closed contour. A
closed contour is any shape made of lines, arcs, and/or
blends, where the last step ends at the start point of the
first step.
MILLPWR will indicate a closed contour with
double lines to the right of the applicable steps in the
program list.
The CUSTOM POCKET step must be placed immediately
following the last step in the closed contour.
In the CUSTOM POCKET step, the STEP RANGE is filled in
automatically. You need to fill in the ENTRY POINT , which
is the plunge point for the tool. MILLPWR will mill at the
feed rate from the ENTRY POINT to the start of the first
step in the contour.
Set the FEED RATE if you want to override what is in each of the contour steps.
The FINISH CUT will be done after the inside of the pocket has been cleared out.
The direction of cut is determined by the order in which you programmed the elements
of the contour.
