Z repeat Facing

Machining of complete faces defined by their contour profile. This profile must be closed. The toolpath of this cycle can easily by repeated in Z, the generation of subprograms is possible.

Key Points

In case of islands and/or sub pockets, it is advised to choose the Pocket cycle.
Sweep Type parameter enables 1-way or 2-ways machining and arc at each change of direction.

Pockets are automatically either avoided or done in a feedrate speed (G01 Fmax)
