Degression Factor Calculation

Degression Factor – Specify a factor to calculate how the depth of cut for each successive pass is reduced.

Degression Factor

 = 1

 produces a constant depth cut.

 

= 2

 produces a constant volume cut (the default).

 
You can specify intermediate factors to produce other results somewhere between these two states.

The depth of cut for the current pass is calculated using this equation:

where:

Depth

 The depth of cut for the current pass

Cut Increment

The specified Cut Increment parameter

Pass

The current pass number
