Remachine - Legacy Procedures > Along Contour

Create alternating passes, tangent to the milling surface. This allows for true Climb or Conventional milling. In addition, approach and retract motions are surface tangent arcs, providing smooth approach and retract.

Hints and tips for Cleanup procedures

Legacy Cleanup, Along Contour has the following sub-options:

Split Horizontal / Vertical - The horizontal areas are milled on surface, and vertical areas are milled in Constant Z down steps.
All Area on Surf (Parallel and Spiral only) - Both horizontal and vertical areas are milled the same way, on surface.
Only Horizontal on Surf - Only horizontal areas are milled, on surface.
Vertical + All Area on Surf (Parallel and Spiral only) - All surfaces are milled on surface. In addition, the vertical areas are also milled in Constant Z down steps.

Notes:

To mill only vertical areas, using Constant Z down steps, choose the Remachine - Legacy Procedures > Only Vertical Area.
To automate the Cleanup procedure, choose Remachine sub selection Cleanup.
