‘Fine tune’ is an expandable/collapsible section, featured at the bottom of the display area; it is available when the Milling diagram or the Heatmap is being displayed.
Use the scroll bar to scroll through the Fine tune parameters.
The Fine Tune section contains a set of parameters that fall into one of two categories:
Inputs - the parameters with which the Machinist will most commonly interact.
Outputs - these parameters are more a source of information and are concerned with the affects of the machining operation.
All of the Fine tune parameters are defined with the Glossary of Terms.
Fine tune sliders
The units displayed for the sliders could be imperial or metric, depending on the ‘session settings’ (see Cutting Parameters Layout (#9)).
Each parameter is fine tuned via a slider, which could have any of the features shown in the following diagram:
The following table details each of the slider’s features.
# | Name | Description | How to change the value |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Lower constraint adjuster | The lowermost permitted value for the parameter. | Click and drag the value to the left or right. |
2 | Current value | The recommended setting. | Changing any of the following may dynamically affect the current value.
In addition, the value can be changed directly be double-clicking the value and manually entering a new one. |
