NOTE: The following additional machining operations are available in the Mill PRO system/upgrade.

• Advanced Rough - Advanced Roughing features allow you to remove higher volumes of material with an intermediate step, reducing cleanup volume.
• Rest Rough - The Rest Machining technology allows the operator to use a smaller tool where larger tools are not able to go. This automatic option reduces time and improves the finished result.
• Flatlands - The Flatlands toolpath will automatically detect any flat areas in the model and provide an efficient cutting strategy for finishing the flat areas of the part.
• Equidistant Offset - The Equidistant Offset is a finishing toolpath that maintains a constant step over on the surface of the part. The result is a part with a constant surface finish over its entirety.
• Pencil - The Pencil toolpath is a finishing toolpath used for machining internal corners and fillets that could not be cut previously by larger tools.
