Preliminary pass routing - Remaining thickness  

 

Machining centre parameter to set the amount of material left after a preliminary pass rout

 

Enter the thickness of the material left after the rout for the preliminary pass. On the preliminary pass the rout does not cut through the material and a second rout is used to finish the cut.

 

The thickness can be either a fixed value or a formula where Z is used to reference the thickness of the material.

 

A formula value needs to start with a = character (e.g.  =Z/4  or  =Z-0.2)

 

Notes

 

 - Can also be set as a Material parameter at material level.
