Rework Area Tolerance

This parameter, found in the options tab, sets the tolerance for machining a rework zone. It separates rework areas corresponding to a 'fake thickness' based on the entered value.

It allows removal of more material and ensures safer material approaches.

Use as a semi-finishing step for hard materials or fragile tools.

Typically useful for rework operations/cycles.

The rework zone can be set to either scallop or offset. The value set in the field computes based on that.

Reworking cycle without rework area tolerance.

Reworking cycle with the default rework area tolerance value of 0.01.

Reworking cycle with a negative rework area tolerance value of -0.2.

Enter negative values to force reworking the entire shape, even if little or no material remains.
