Enable High Speed Machining

In the 2 Axis > Pocket, Contour and Rest Material operations this parameter is only available when Cutter Compensation is set to Offset.

Tool speed decreases when the tool must go from one move to a non-tangent move. If a tool move is tangent to the next move, tool speed can remain the same. With Enable High Speed Machining ON, SURFCAM puts one tangent arc or two tangent arcs between two non-tangent tool moves for high speed machining in 2 Axis. The tangent arcs allow maximum cutting speed.

OFF	ON

Minimum Radius

Enter the minimum radius of the arcs used in high speed machining.

Maximum Radius

Enter the maximum radius of the two arcs that replace a linear step over move in high speed machining.

Disable for finish passes

Where available, check this box so that SURFCAM will not put the tangent arcs into a finish cut move during high speed machining.
