● ∇∇∇ (finishing)
● ∇+∇∇∇ (complete machining)
Machining
● Face
direction
● Longitudinal
● Parallel to the contour
The machining direction depends on the stock removal direction and choice of tool.

● Front
● Rear
● Inside
● Outside
D Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇)
DX Maximum depth infeed - (only for parallel to the contour, as an alternative to D).
Do not round contour at end of cut.
Always round contour at end of cut.
Uniform cut segmentation
Round cut segmentation at the edge
Constant cutting depth
Alternating cutting depth - (only with align cut segmentation to edge)
DZ Maximum depth infeed - (only for position parallel to the contour and UX)
UX or U Finishing allowance in X or finishing allowance in X and Z – (only for ∇)
