If a start point is defined, a small circle will be displayed at this point when the machining operation Used to select a point, near to where the first toolpath should begin machining. The pulley number or dial setting of the spindle for the target speed. The direction of rotation of the spindle. Negative values can be used to oversize cuts. Remaining stock is typically removed later in a finishing pass. This is the amount of stock to leave after the final cut. This property is currently used only by the Lathe and 3D Profile machining operations. Inside Offsets region filled with offsets from islands radiating outward.Outside Offsets region filled with progressive offsets from outside in (like current pocket method).Inside+Outside Offsets region filled with progressive offsets from outside in, unioned with offsets from islands radiating outward.Vertical Hatch region filled with vertical lines.Horizontal Hatch region filled with horizontal lines.The effects of each option can be seen when using the new Draw - Fill Region menu option. This option controls the pattern used to fill the pockets.
List of drawing objects from which this machine operation is defined. None - Toolpaths are not optimised and are written in the order they were generated.
Legacy (0.9.7) - Toolpaths are ordered using same logic as version 0.9.7. New (0.9.8) - A new, improved optimiser currently in testing. This is output in the gcode as a comment and is useful for keeping track of the function of each machining operation.Īn option that controls how the toolpaths are ordered in gcode output.

Tangent Radius : The radius of the tangent lead in Lead Move Feedrate : The feedrate to use for the lead move. Lead Move Type: None | Spiral | Tangent Spiral Angle: Used by spiral and tangents to control ramp angle. If False, a finish stepover will be applied at each depth increment. If True, the finish stepover move is only used once the final target depth is reached. The horizontal stepover distance used for the final cut of the pocket. The depth increment of the final machining pass. True: The toolpaths associated with this machining operation are displayed and included in the gcode output False: The operation will be ignored and no gcode or tool paths will be produced for this operation.

The clearance plane should be clear of the stock and any holding devices to allow free movement to any location. The clearance plane (offset from the work plane). That is, the area around them willīe cleared and the islands will remain prominent. If selected shapes contain other shapes, CamBam will automatically detect these as 'Islands'. Pockets are used to clear out stock within boundary shapes. Documentation for the latest CamBam release is available here.
