Profile - Finishing

This cycle is logically identical to the parallel plane finishing cycle. The Profile finish works at a constant cutter offset in 2D according to the shape of the machining limitations.

Key Points

The tool machines by rotating as in a pocket.

Choice of machining methods to Start or End by the sides.

Few rapid movements.
