The "Grooving" function is used to machine grooves of any shape.

Grooving

Before you program the groove, you must define the groove contour.
If a recess is wider than the active tool, it is machined in several cuts.
The tool is moved by (a maximum of) 80% of the tool width for each
recess.
For grooving, ShopTurn can start from a blank that is defined as a
cylinder, an allowance on the finished-part contour or any
unmachined-part contour.
If, for example, you want to machine a certain area of the contour with
a different tool, you can set machining area limits so that machining
only takes place in the area of the contour you have selected.
To prevent the occurrence of excessively long chips during machining,
you can program a feed interruption.
You can select the machining mode (roughing or finishing).
For more detailed information, please refer to section "Stock removal"
in each case.
