The Total Cut Depth is the depth you wish to Cut to, regardless of the number of passes made.
In most of the standard Router-CIM cycles the tool paths will ramp down between the Cuts. The code generated will produce the first pass at -.4, the second at -.8 and the third pass at -1.0. By setting this number to a value less than the Total Depth of the Cut, you will have multiple passes in the material.įor example, if you have 1" thick material and need to take three passes to Cut through, you would set the Depth/Pass field at. This field allows multiple depths of Cut in a single tool path. See the Safety Plane section for more information. Placing an asterisk ( * ) before the number specifies that this value is an absolute point above the part, where leaving this out determines the point to be incremental. This should always be a value that places the cutter above the part to be cut as each tool change, or index move between cuts is going to start from this point. The safety plane is the location in the Z axis where the tool can retract to between cuts. The following parameters effect the toolpath creation:
