Machining cycle
Cutoff
Parting off the finished part from the stock
The cycle form: cutoff with chip retract shown — stock diameter, tool width, X end and split, with a live 2D path simulator on the right.
The cutoff cycle moves the parting tool toward the workpiece axis at the given position, with an optional edge chamfer before parting.
Who needs this cycle
