This cycle can be used for finishing where excess material has already been cleared and supports single or multiple depths of cut. If a face/surface has even a small gradient, toolpath will not be generated. Toolpaths are only generated on compeltely flat areas. The Flat Area cycle uses a pocket out pattern to remove material from feature faces that are flat and parallel to the XY machining plane. Cutting starts from the highest location of the model and works downward. The cuts follow the contour of the feature at decreasing Z levels based on the Surface Finish specified. The Z-Level cycle is a finish contouring cycle that removes material by making a series of horizontal, planar cuts. Depths of cut can be constant or variable. This cycle removes the material between the stock or contain area and the selected feature at decreasing Z depth levels by making a series of parallel cuts across the stock, or by pocketing out toward the stock.
