Enter/Adjust your cutter engagement parameters

The expandable Cut panel is visible when either Milling or Turning Tool Type is selected.

When a Turning tool type is selected, only the DOC input field is visible.

These are the fields available on the Cut panel for Milling tools

• DOC
  Depth of Cut - Axial depth of cut
• WOC
  Width of Cut - Radial Width of cut
• WOC %
  Width of Cut as a percentage from the cutter diameter
  
• WOC Deg
  Width of Cut in Degrees with 180 being full with of cut and 0 - none at all

This is how the Cut panel looks for Milling Tools:

When you change the WOC value, WOC-% and WOC-Deg change automatically.

But if you want to change the % or Deg field directly and set an inch or mm WOC, you need to enter your number and then hit ENTER.

For Turning tools, only the DOC input field is available.

• For Profiling Operations
  Depth of Cut - The radial depth of cut.
• For Grooving or Facing Operations
  Depth of Cut - Width of the Grooving or Facing pass
