3D tool radius compensation: peripheral milling, face milling

Peripheral milling

The type of milling used here is implemented by defining a path (guide line) and the

corresponding orientation. In this type of machining, the shape of the tool on the path is not

relevant. The only decisive factor is the radius at the tool contact point.

The 3D TRC function is limited to cylindrical tools.
