An overview of the basic turning toolpath parameters using the Turning Face strategy.
Manufacture > Turning (tab) > Turning > Turning Face
Turning Face is a toolpath strategy to remove rough stock from the face of the cylinder. This can be a single cut for finishing or multiple cuts to remove bulk stock from the work piece. After we select our tool from the Tool Library, we will cover the parameters used for tool clearance, toolpath containment and multiple cuts. The Turning toolpaths cut in a 2D plane, normally the ZX plane. When you select the Turning pull down, there are a variety of toolpaths that represent this type of machining.
This video includes an overview of the toolpath dialog parameters. It discusses their similarities and differences.
