Plunge Distance

Cycle: Contouring, Pocketing, Zig Zag, Constant Z

This parameter sets the distance that the tool travels along the first linear move, while a simultaneous feed-in move (ramp) is made to the Z Depth level (or Z Step). The tool ramps down to the Z level over the specified distance, reverses direction back to the start point at the current Z level to clean up the ramp area, then continues forward.
