62Work Side: This field determines which side of the contour the tool will pass on. Togetherwith the selected direction of the contour, it determines if the milling type will be climb orconventional.Side cuts are the cuts taken in the XY direction.Use Side Cuts: If this check box is checkedthe operation will perform the cuts defined bythe parameters. Otherwise only one cut at thefinal contour will be performed.Number of Passes (Roughing): This is thenumber of roughing side cuts in the operation.Spacing (Roughing): If more than oneroughing pass is taken, this is the distancebetween them.Number of Passes (Finish): This is thenumber of finish side cuts in the operation.Spacing (Finish): This is the distance of eachfinish pass.Final Depth: If this check box is checked,the finish passes will only be taken at the finaldepth.All Depths: If this check box is checked, thefinish passes will be taken at every depth.Overlap Distance: This is the distance thatall the finish laps will overlap, in order tosmooth the surface.
