Contour Rework

This cycle is define after a contouring cycle and is aimed at reworking automatically areas where the previous tool could not go.

Key Points

The tool passes only in areas with residual material.
Ability to define an auto finish cycle just after the rework.
Need to define the diameter of the tool and the stock left for the roughing cycle.
