9.2 Rectangular Pocket Milling


Rectangular pocket milling means a repeatedly down cutting to designated depth in a rectangular area.



Geometry



X CenterX

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

Y CenterY

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

Z StartZ

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