Lead in/Lead out Interface

Cycle: Contouring, Contour rework, Slotting, Taper cutting, Profile cutting, Chamfering, Finishing

Introduction

Lead in and Lead out movements define how the tool enters and exits a machining profile.
They are used to ensure a smooth engagement with the material and a safe disengagement from the part, helping to avoid marks on the finished surface and reduce tool stress.

Lead in and Lead out interface has been redesigned to improve usability.
Although the layout has changed, all parameters and their functionality remain identical to previous versions.

There are three buttons to manipulate the parametric values:

Right arrow (→) – Copies all parameter values from the left side and applies them to the right side.
Double arrow (↔) – Swaps the parameter values between the left and right sides.
Left arrow (←) – Copies all parameter values from the right side and applies them to the left side.
