When I set the “Final Cut Width” to 5mm and the “Tool Diameter” to 3.175 then it mills first the outer slot, which is 5mm away from the outline. After that it cuts the outline (see picture).
When I choose “Mill Cut Inside” it clears first the whole width before it continues. Is the behaviour with “Mill Cut Outside” on purpose or not?
@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty The cut width function comes in very handy when the slot is deep and narrow. When it can get enlarged I have less Problems with Chips.
I wasn’t thinking of chip clearing when I created that option, but it seems a good use for it. Sometimes you need a wider slot than your cutter, and using outside/inside could be more convenient than setting up a separate path object for a pocket.
