Finish direction

This parameter determines the finish direction, four or two solutions are possible (two solutions if there is ONLY one finishing cut, and four if there are more than one finishing cut):

Normal finishing direction

The finishing cut will be done in the same direction as the roughing.

Invert finishing direction

The finishing cut will be done in the opposite direction of the roughing.

Normal zigzag finishing

In the case of several finishing cuts on the same surface, the first finishing  is realized in the same direction as the roughing, the second one in the inverse direction, the third one in the same direction as the roughing, etc....

Inverted zigzag finishing

In the case of several finishing cuts on the same surface, the first finishing is realized in the inverse direction of the roughing, the second one in the same direction as the roughing, the third one in the inverse direction of the roughing, etc....
