Operation visualization and control in the side browser

Once the operation is created, the sizing by saw item appears in the side browser.

We will look at the content of this item and operation editing possibilities.

Sizing by Mill Browser view

The operation creates two suboperations at the same time: for cutting lengthwise (front and back) and crosswise (left and right).

1.Front and back sizing by saw item. The operation is given a name (Sizing by Cut) and a sequence number. The tool diameter is specified after a dash.

2.Spindle data and the data of the loaded tool. Additional information is provided in the bottom rows of this data block.

Characteristics of a cut:

a.Depth - cutting depth.

b.Breakthrough: setting the excess saw cutting depth

c.Scoring Pass: enabling/disabling the cutting of the top surface of the part.

3.The geometry block contains the information, which is registered as each individual generated trajectory for each cut (Cut1 and Cut2).

4.Left and right sizing by saw item.
