Profile panel — Cutting Depths

Use the options in the Cutting Depth area to specify the cutting depths and tolerance:

  • Start Depth — Enter the depth (Z) from the surface of the material at which you want to begin machining.
  • Finish Depth — Enter the final depth (Z) for the tool.
  • Tolerance — Enter a value in the box to specify how closely the tool follows the shape of the selected vectors. Entering excessively small values increases the size of the toolpath file and slows down calculation and machining times.
