Spiral

The Spiral Finishing Cycle, allows you to perform a finish with a constant pitch with a Helix descent over the entire part without rising, the different areas of the part are detected and managed automatically and the first and last passes of each area are constant.

Key Points

Without tool lift between passes
No tool entry mark at each pass

Application:

Cylindrical, conical parts
Rooms with multiple slopes
Rooms with multiple areas on a slope
