Interpolation

Machining of holes by interpolation (face, back, recess).

• The Interpolation is a very powerful cycle which enables many types of toolpaths:

• Top and Back machining, recess, contouring or pocketing type

• The leadin helix now starts higher at quarter of helix, so that the tool enters the material with helix motion (available if no predrill + continuous toolpath).

A new type of tool is available from the tool selection list: 1/4 circle mill cutter.
