This command produces a gouge-protected roughing cycle, using a concentric or lacing clearance pattern on 2D geometry as well as surfaces, solids and STL models.
The cycle includes an option to select a number of points that define the entry point for each region. The Approach Type modifier on the Approach tab offers you the ability to start the Roughing cycle from pre-drilled hole(s) and set a preference for Ramp or Helical approach. The cycle has been optimised for high speed machining, including tangential links between passes and optimised retract moves.
A Rest Rough option is available on the General tab of the cycle.
