74By Pocket: If this is selected one pocket will bemilled from start to finish, before the nextpocket is worked upon.The Entry Strategies define how the tool cutsfrom one Z level to the next.Plunge: When this is selected, the tool willmove straight down.Ramp: With the ramp entry the tool movesdown to the Ramp Clearance above the part.Then it makes a ramp movement with thelength Ramp Length and the angle RampAngle.Helix Entry: Moves down to Helix Clearanceabove the part. Then it will spiral down withthe angle Helix Angle in a circular movementwith a radius between Helix Diameter andMinimum Helix Diameter.How big the actual diameter will be dependson the geometry,Lead in/out parameters describe the way thatthe tool will approach the contour at the start/end of the roughing, and for each finish pass.The use of lead in/out is optional when thecompensation is set to computer or none. It ishowever mandatory, when any compensationis performed by the controller.Use Lead In/Out Parameters: Enables ordisables the lead in and out.Use Line: Enable or disables the lead in/outlines.
