Hello everyone.

Wonder if it wasn´t possible in hole pocketing just a clean up passage at the end and not in all levels..

Hole take an eternity to do if we want to leave the bottom straight.

Thanks

This can be done by setting the value of Stepdown Control (dZ) as Distance = the Hole Depth. Make sure you have cleanup pass at each Z level selected.

In the attached picture Hole Depth = 1 and Stepdown Control(dZ) is set to Distance =1
