Detection of residual material when milling

Contour ranges which do not permit milling with large diameters are automatically identified
in the cycle for contour pockets and contour pins. These areas can be selectively machined
with a suitable smaller tool, rather than having to use this tool for the entire contour pocket or
pin.
If you mill several pockets and wish to avoid unnecessary tool changeovers, remove stock
from all the pockets first and then remove the residual material. In this case, you must enter
the tool used for removing the residual material from the pocket in the "TR reference tool"
parameter.

● Shorter machining times through the use of a large tool for the substantial part of the
● Avoidance of non-cutting movements while achieving extremely simple programming
