Cycle: Z Level Grooving
Definition
Notion of deburring in the Z level groove.
Order of Passes
According to the width
The toolpath follows the width of groove in Z (1), then retract and one step in X (2), etc. |
|
|
|
According to the depth
The toolpath is similar to a deburring. The groove is machined in X to the total depth (1), then retract and one Z step (2), then machining again (3), etc. (4 & 5) |
|
|
|
Two parameters are linked to the deburring option (according to the depth):
Lead out Distance
This is the retract distance (2) between 2 deburring passes (1 & 3). |
|
|
|
Total retract depth
For deep groove, when the tool reaches this depth altitude (1), a complete retract is done (2), before going on the machining (3). |

Cycle: Tapping
Tapping cycle in Turning (Axial Hole menu) now offers two modes (Simple, Deburring), with Deburring adding Pass depth and Last pass depth parameters, and dwell options repositioned in the dialog.
