Roughing

This cycle is a multi-use operation; it manages outside straight toolpath, but also facing, inside reaming and even back facing machining.

The passes stay parallel to the axis while the cycle Parallel roughing generates a toolpath parallel to the selected profile.

This cycle offers many technical options:

Dialog Area	Parameters

	Lead out overlength	Lead out linear overlength
	Over cutting	Undercut safety distance
	Return point	Lead in overlength
	Return angle	Lead in linear overlength
	Return distance
Facing	Limitate on Z axis	Exceed the axis
