Contour machining part 4 – Number of Cuts


YouTube: https://youtu.be/o9Cc1l7JfNs

In the Levels and Cuts tab we have a few important parameters. One of them is the Number of Cuts.

At this point, we have full depth machining in one pass. In some situations this can be difficult to do.

It is better to divide machining into several Z-axis passes.

Typing 5 in the parameter Number of Cuts,

alphacam number of cuts

We will get 5 equal Z-axis passes.

Of course, we can set, for example, 10 passes.
