Finish Groove

This finish cycle is supposed to be used after other grooving cycles. But it has also specific use:

machining in a case of manual stock.
making a finish pass on a particular profile.

Key Points

The toolpath does not manage remaining material: it means that it will be calculated even if there is no more material to be removed.
Ability to program G02-G03 on sharp angles (with corner rounding option)
This operation offers several optimized overlap strategies.
