Multi Regions and Pockets (Graphic)

In many cases, a pocket may have areas which the tool cannot fit through. When the Multi Regions feature is clicked On, EZ-Mill will withdraw the tool from the part, rapid to a new position, plunge feed, and continue cutting. When Multi Regions is turned Off, EZ-Mill will cut only the portion of the programmed path that can be cut continuously without gouging the part. Here's an example of a pocket that is cut with the Multi Regions feature turned On.

 

Multi Regions = ON
