Notes on parameters/functions:

Machining of contour or pocket:

defined with overlap

factor U

.

Milling direction:

depends on definition of cutting

direction H

and the direction of tool rotation (see

"Milling direction for contour milling" on page 328).

Milling cutter compensation:

effective (except for

contour milling with J=0).

Approach and departure:

For closed contours, the

starting point of the first element (in rectangles, the

longer element) is the point of approach and departure.

The tool approaches directly or on an arc according to
approaching radius R.

Contour milling JK

defines whether the milling cutter

is to machine on the contour (center of milling cutter on

the contour) or on the inside/outside of the contour.

Pocket milling—roughing (O=0):

Use JT to define

whether a pocket is machined from the inside toward

the outside, or vice versa.

Pocket milling—finishing (O=1):

First, the edge of the

pocket is machined; then the pocket floor is machined.

With JT you define whether a pocket floor is to be

finished from the inside towards the outside, or vice

versa.
