The 2D Milling diagram provides a dynamic illustration of Cutting Parameter recommendations. Any changes to the ‘inputs’ are immediately illustrated shown the 2D Milling diagram.
On clicking the ‘2D Milling diagram’ option (the one on the left), it is displayed in the Display Area.
Layout
The 2D Milling diagram has the layout shown in the following screenshot.
The 2D Milling Notice that the diagram has two components:
The left Left image - represents the cutting engagement.
The right Right image - represents the z-place plane view of the machining process.
Parameters
As annotated in the screenshot above, the 2D Milling diagram contains the following recommended parameters:
Depth of cut (Ap)
Spindle speed
Width of cut (Ae)
Chip load
Feed per tooth
Feed rate
Each of these parameters can be amended in the Fine Tune section.
Dynamic adjustments
The 2D Milling diagram is dynamically updated by changes to any of the following inputs:

If any inputs are changed, the 2D milling diagram is immediately updated. |
Tooltips
Hovering over any measurement displays a tooltip that contains the alternative unit system (to change the unit system, see Cutting Parameters Layout [#10]).
The screenshot below shows the measurement, in Imperial, next to its tooltip, in Metric.
