4X Spiral

This cycle generates a pocket type toolpath on 4 simultaneous axis based on the limitation area defined.

Key Points

  • Can define variations of machining limitations.

  • Define a small stepover value for quality toolpath.

  • Ability to define different machining modes.

▶️ You can watch a video showing the limitations command being use:
