The Pencil Mill cycle is used to clean up material remaining from a previous (finishing) cycle, for example cusps left at the end of a Parallel Lace cycle. You can select any number of surfaces, STL models or solid models for this cycle which will then detect all internal surface edges and intersections and place a toolpath at that point. A "shortest path" between successive curves will be taken to reduce the length of non-cutting moves.
The cycle offers support for multiple passes, i.e. you can add additional passes either side of the centre trace.
