Description
The FINISHING_PASS parameter defines and controls the finishing pass for Face Milling HSM sequences. When this parameter is set to YES and BOTTOM_STOCK_ALLOW is specified, an additional finishing slice is automatically created.

To provide greater control, two additional parameters – FINISH_CUT_FEED and FINISH_SPINDLE_SPEED – are available. These parameters allow the finishing slice to be controlled independently from the other milling slices.

Benefits
This enhancement provides the following benefits:

  • Provides additional finishing slice for Face Milling with independent cut and spindle speed controls
  • Consistent with Creo NC workflows

Additional Information

Tips:When FINISHING_PASS is set to YES and FINISH_CUT_FEED and FINISH_SPINDLE_SPEED values are not specified, an additional slice or the last slice considers the default CUT_FEED and SPINDLE_SPEED values.
Limitations:No known limitations.
Does this replace existing functionality?No.
Configuration option associated with this functionality:None.
