Through plunge and milling offset (mm)
When milling cutters, the Through plunge and milling offset (mm) setting is available.
By default, this property has a value of 0.1, so all machining operations that have a depth that characterizes them as passing through, will have an increase in depth of 0.1.
At BHX, this property can receive negative values greater than -10 With a negative value on the property, passing machining will have the set value added to the machining depth, thus resulting in a smaller depth.
IMPORTANT: The smallest value is restricted to -10, when trying to set a value that is lower than -10, automatically the value is set to -10.
This scenario with negative values is recommended for situations where material falls from the workpiece when machining.
- Example:
If the machining has a depth of 20mm (which is equal to the thickness of the part) and the value entered in the Drilling and through machining compensation (mm) is –2, the final machining depth will be 18mm.
