Input Altitude
The Input altitude parameter consists of 4 options:
Standard: top Z and bottom Z correspond to the tool pilot point. | |
On bottom of shape: to machine profiles with a Z evolution on the bottom of the shape. You can find a video below showing an example of machining a ramp using this option. | |
Cavity: for Side Face Mill Cutter and Woodruff, the machining is strictly done between the 2 altitudes by respecting pilot points and tool height. | |
On tool top: for Side Face Mill Cutter and Woodruff, the machining is done according to the top pilot point. |
