Plunge Angle

Cycle: Contouring, Pocketing, Zig Zag, Constant Z

Plunge Angle is specified with Plunge Distance parameter to control the Z decent of the tool into the material.  The tool will begin ramping downward at the specified angle until it reaches the cut depth.  If the cut depth cannot be reached within the specified distance, then the entry will double back on itself as many times as needed to reach the final depth.
