Re-roughing
Icon: 
Menu: Milling | 3D operation | Re-roughing
Links:
Performing a roughing operation, once more and by levels, on a part for which a roughing operation has already been carried out, using a tool of smaller diameter. The aim is to reduce the material volume which will be removed by the following finishing operations.
The "Re-roughing" operation is similar to the ‘‘Roughing by steps" operation.
This function can be applied on a part for which a roughing operation has not yet been carried out. In such a case, the original stock model is the one which will be taken into account.
This function can also be applied after any machining operation, in this case, first TopSolid'Cam calculates the updated stock before the tool path calculation.
Select the menu
"Milling | 3D operation | Re-roughing" or click on the icon.
If there are several parts, select the part to be machined.
Select the tool (or change tool) which can be used for the machining operation.
Specify the different parameters in the tab dialogue box which appears.
The default values are the same as
the last roughing operation. The user can modify them if it's needed.
Enter the comment which appears on the machine block listing meant for the NC operator. This comment will also appear when the user wishes to take a look at or modify an operation, using the Operation/ Operations Manager function.
Eventually, enter a codified remark which will be interpreted by the post-processor, in a specific manner predefined by the user and the post-processor redactor.
Validate entries made into the dialogue box by clicking on OK
