The newly created object with its position and size exactly coincides with the working
area. Now you should add the additional enlargement that was mentioned, so that the
milling cutter will go with its whole diameter out of the material – thus we get a better
surface.
We click on our object and select „Vectors/Offset" menu position. The milling cutter
diameter is 8mm - we should give it a small reserve by entering as an Offset Distance
the 8.5mm value. We are giving the Offset Direction as Outwards – that is the outside.
Offset corners – irrelevant here. Select - Delete original vectors, because we do not
need to save the original object.
At this stage, our project looks like this:
First, a tool path for planning the surface.
Select the object we have created and select Area Clearance
tab.
In Finish Depth box, enter treatment depth - 0.2mm in this case. In toleration area,
enter 0,01mm. As practice shows, it is not worth to overdo with toleration value. Of
course, if you have a high-class mechanics, granite construction, all is thermally stabi-
lized, and you execute precise jobs – you can set the toleration more detailed.
Safe Z parameter you can set at 5mm, Home Position at [0, 0, 10]. You can also select
„Add Ramping Moves" on default parameters, the result is smoother entry into the
material.

You can now generate trajectories for tools.
