Using the Pencil Mill Operation

A new pencil mill cycle was introduced in EdgeCAM version 7.50. Please note that the Pencil Mill operation uses the "old" (i.e. pre-version 7.50) cycle.

  1. Click on the Pencil Mill Operation button.

  2. Digitise the surfaces to be machined, then perform a Finish.

  3. Digitise the containment boundary entities (if required), then perform a Finish.

  4. Complete the dialog box for the operation, then click OK.

EdgeCAM now generates the toolpaths for the pencil mill operation, including any moves to position the tool.
