4X roughing standard
 | 4 Axis roughing standard is a 4 axis simultaneous roughing operation. |
Key Points
This new operation enable to rough any shape using the 4 axis simultaneously and applying standard offset toolpath. The toolpath starts out of the material in case of open machining area. To avoid a too long calculation time, we advise you to define carefully the mini and maxi diameters of machining, in the strategy page. |  |
