Roughing capabilities comprise a large variety of cutting techniques for high volume removal of material. These manufacturing practices include strategies for high speed roughing and the achievement of semi-finishing or finishing qualities through proper built-in engage/retract motions. Turn Roughing relies on the system’s automatic remaining material detection capability.
