Open Shape and Center Cutting Cycles

 

There may be several instances where cutting an open shape is desirable.  One instance may be to use a profile or shaper tool to cut a visible edge, leaving the profile shape in the material.  In that instance you need a cycle where you can control the cut side and direction of the cut to perform either a climb or conventional cut.

 

Center cutting cycles are also in this section.  There are many instances where cutting a shape on center with no offset is necessary, such as engraving or slotting.  Router-CIM has several cycles available to allow complete control over the cutting conditions.

 

The descriptions given for each cycle will explain the various parameters available and how they function.
