Minimum chip
This is the smallest cut depth value that the tool can take. This value is generally used in Ramping mode.
Constant
This value defines the maximum cut depth value, which should never be exceeded during the cycle. Of course, this value must be upper than the minimum chip!
By default, this value is equal to the radial cut depth, defined in TopTool , if the direction of the machining is horizontal, and equivalent to the axial cut depth if the machining direction is vertical.
Variable
This mode enables the user to vary the cut depth depending on predetermined criteria. The following diagrams show the different possibilities.

It corresponds to the depth of the first cut (P1)
It corresponds to the depth of the last cut (P2)
TopSolid'Cam makes first this number N cuts at P1 depth. The method by which the rest of the cuts are done depends on the state of the Progressiveness check (yes/no).

This button determines the variation mode for the pass depth (after the N initial passes).
Tick
TopSolid'Cam makes N cuts at P1 depth, the depth of each following cut is increased progressively up to the value P2.
Not
TopSolid'Cam makes N cuts at P1 depth, the rest of the cuts are made according to the P2 cut depth
