In addition to the standard machine and stock parameters to supply the generator, you must also supply the particulars for the rectangular pocket to cut:

  • Pocket Length - X
  • Pocket Width - Y
  • Target Depth - Z

To be clear, the target depth is referenced from the machine's Z=0 coordinate. In other words, given a workpiece that is 20mm thick, and a given target depth of 18mm, the machine will cut a pocket that is 2mm deep.

The pocket is referenced (in X-Y plane) from the bit's current location, as indicated by the filled-in circle in the drawing that will appear when the Refresh view is clicked.

Finally, the rectangular pocket will have radiused corners, defined by the cutting bit's radius.
