Parallel Cuts

In this Topic Show

Introduction

The Parallel Cuts feature creates a toolpath pattern with slices that are parallel to each other. The orientation of the slices are defined by two angles: Machining Angle in XY (which rotates the slices around the Z-axis) and Machining Angle in Z. The geometry selection only requires a drive surface/surfaces.
