Cast - Rough Reworking

The Cast rework cycle allows you to rework the part, but based on the same principle as the Cast roughing. The rework is based on a cast block, with profile parallel to the part.

Key Points

You must enter the thickness between the part and the cast block.
The parameters for rework allow you to define on which type of section of the part there will be reworks.
The Scallop value desired after the rework is to be entered.
