9.9 Contour Island Milling


Contour island milling means a repeatedly down cutting to designated depth with a remained user-defined closed contour island at the center.



Geometry


                   

X CenterX

The distance from the origin of workpiece to the origin of the contour in X direction.

Y CenterY

The distance from the origin of workpiece to the origin of the contour in Y direction.

Z StartZ

The distance from the origin of workpiece to the upper surface of removed area in Z direction.

O OutContour

User-defined outer contour.

I InContour

User-defined inner contour.

D Depth

Depth of removal.

A Rotate

A counterclockwise rotation around the origin of the contour with designated angle.
