Taper Cutting

This cycle is specific. The taper must first be defined using the designated command in the design menu.

Tapers can be programmed in a contouring toolpath with compensation (G41/G42).

For this purpose, the taper must be created in the geometry using the Taper Creation command. Either constant or evolutive tapers can be defined.

Taper Creation is located in Design>Taper submenu.
