Strategy - Selects a roughing cycle for the operation.
Rough Cuts Only - Check to rapid move the tool back for the next drive. If the Rough Cuts Only box is blank, the tool feeds along the profile and to the previous drive line before returning for the next drive.
Pathtrace Compensation - Turning Centres are usually limited to simple forms of compensation for turning tools. EdgeCAM provides an extensive facility to compensate for the tool geometry. Selecting Pathcomp causes the output tool path to be readjusted to cater for tool geometry. This is in effect until cancelled.
Cut Increment - Specifies the distance between cuts in the units used for the part.
Z/X Offset - Specifies an offset in Z/X to apply to the profile boundary.
ToolStore - Press the Find button to open the ToolStore. Pick the appropriate tool and click Select.
Feedrate - Specifies the feed movement speed of the tool. This is feed per minute, or feed per revolution (default), as selected using the Feed Type (M-Functions menu) command.
Speed - Specifies the spindle speed of the turning centre. If you have previously selected Constant Surface Speed using the CSS (M-Functions menu) command, this spindle speed is measured in surface speed (mm/inches) per minute.
Position - Specifies the position that the tool occupies on the turret (this defaults to the last-used turret position).
Nose Radius - Defines the radius of the corner at the cutting end of the insert.
Symbol - Select from a list of ISO insert symbol types.
Edge Length - Defines the length of the cutting edge of the insert.
Side Angle - Defines the angle between the tool axis normal and the side of the insert.
