Positioning Positioning motion between the grooves:
Straight line:

Next position is approached linearly at rapid traverse.
Circular:

Next position is approached at the programmed feedrate FP along a circular path.

Function.
Use the "Open slot" function if you want to machine open slots.
For roughing, you can choose between the following machining strategies, depending on
your workpiece and machine properties.
● Vortex milling
● Plunge cutting
The following machining types are available to completely machine the slot:
● Roughing
● Rough-finishing
● Finishing
● Base finishing
● Edge finishing
● Chamfering
