Leads

In BobCAM the lead-ins and lead-outs for Turning operations have been simplified to enhance your experience. Leads are always adjusted based on the orientation of the tool. This means that in most cases you can input positive values and the resulting leads are exactly what you would need to exit the cut. Negative values are still supported and can be used in situations where the adjusted leads do not yield the proper results.  

 

Following is a diagram that demonstrates the adjustments applied to leads based on the tool orientation:
