Previous Cutter |
Specify the previous cutter used. The regions that should be machined are set automatically as the regions where the previous cutter could not reach. See the important notes below. To specify a previous cutter, press the cutter name button to open the Cutters & Holders dialog. If necessary, specify the offset of the previous cutter.
|
Notes:
-
The diameter of the previous cutter must be larger than the diameter of the current cutter.
-
The best results are gained if the previous cutter has the same flat area as the current cutter. Otherwise, over-machining or under-machining may occur.
