Step 11

Step 12

In the next dialog, select Specific area to cut for Surface-level area.

This allows you to dene the area you want. Choose this when you

want to perform surface leveling over an area broader than the

modeling form or when you want to restrict the area. When you do

this, the tool passes along the contours in the area.

Notice that 2 red squares will appear at 2 of the corners of the

model selection. Dragging the squares will enable you to change the

sizes of the surface area. The Depth option allows you to specify how

deep the cut. In this case, enter a value that you want to surface off.

Click Next to continue.

In the Path Type page, choose the pattern of the locus that the

tool traces when it cuts into the workpiece.

This affects the cutting time and the quality of cutting.

Scan Lines - creates a tool path parallel to the specied axis.

The path is created in such a way that the outbound

movement and return movement lie along the axis.

Select X for Scan Lines.

Click Next to continue.

At the Cutting Parameters page, it makes the settings for the feed

rate, cutting-in amount, and other cutting parameters.

Changing the parameters changes the amount of cutting per unit

of time.

XY Speed / Z Speed - controls the movement speeds (feed rates)

for the tool during cutting

Spindle - controls the spindle rotating speed

Cutting-in Amount - the depth to which the tool cuts into the

workpiece

Path Interval - allocates the interval between adjacent paths

Enter the values for each of the above as shown in the diagram.

Click Next to continue.
