Z Level

Z Level finishing is intended for machining parts containing vertical or nearly vertical walls in contouring. Machining begins with the highest point of the part. The cutter follows the contours of the model remaining at a constant level.

• Only finishing cycle where the Down cut/Conventional Cut machining mode is automatically respected

• Pass depth management.

• Approaching contours by perpendicular engagement or sloping.

• The tool machines at constant Z (except slope approach).
