Overlength

Cycle: Z repeat Facing, Facing Pocket, Facing Roughing

Definition

This parameter defines how the tool goes out of the material between two passes. The facing automatically go over the part with the value of the tool diameter. An overlength to go further in open areas can be set, only in the direction of toolpath.

By default, if the overlength value is 0, the tool goes out of the profile from the value of tool radius.

The overlength defined is added to the tool radius value.

A negative value can also be defined, to avoid the tool to go out completely of the material and then shorten the length of toolpath.
