Machining centre parameter to set tooling for the first small part pass
Use this to enter any Tooling instructions for the first small part pass if these are used for routing. This may be different to the Tooling for the final pass.
On the first small part pass the rout does not cut through the material and a second rout is used to finish the cut. For smaller parts this helps to keep the part firmly held by the Vacuum table.
Check with the supplier for details of tooling instructions for specific settings such as the 'on the fly' parameter
This value can be overridden by Material parameter settings.
Variables can also be used in the tool settings. The variable answers will come from the variable dialog in quote/orders or product requirements.
Notes
- Can also be set as a Material parameter at material level.
