Pencil Operation Overview

Introduction

The purpose of the Pencil operation is to clean up material around the edges of the part left by larger tools. This is especially helpful when creating fillets with a tool whose radius matches the target fillet. Exactly how this operation is performed is dictated by the settings in the subsequent pages of the operation. Each of the pages allows you to define the  variables in order to tailor the machining process to fit your needs.
