Clean Between Passes Parameters
While the tool is moving along the procedure's main lanes, it may leave unmachined areas.
Intermediate motions, known as Clean Between Passes, may be added to machine these areas (in Rough Spiral procedures) and also to reduce scallops (in Finish procedures).
The Clean Between Passes branch enables you to define the level of control over its use and over the display of the parameters in the branch. The following branch options are available:No, Basic and Advanced - No is the default option.
IllustrationIllustration showing the difference between Clean Between Passes = No and Clean Between Passes = Advanced or Basic.
|
Clean Between Passes = No - no usage of Clean Between Passes. Note the unmachined areas. |
|
|
|
Clean Between Passes = Advanced or Basic - Clean Between Passes is used. Note how the area is covered with nested passes until there are no more unmachined areas. The connections are all smooth. |

Branch option: No
The No option means that there is no cleaning between passes.
Branch option: Basic
The default option for this branch is Basic. This enables minimal control over cleaning between passes.
Note: The Clean Between Passes dialog is displayed in the following procedures:
-
Surface Milling > Finish Mill All, when Machining Method = Spiral
-
Surface Milling > Finish Mill by Limit Angle, when Horiz. Machining Method = Spiral or 3D Step
-
Surface Milling > Finish Horiz. Planar Areas, when Horiz. Machining Method = Spiral
