‘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 displayed.
When the Fine tune section is expanded, it is populated with a set of cutting parameters: each parameter can be adjusted via a fine-tune slider (see below).
As the values in a slider are adjusted, the following are adjusted automatically:

Other, related, ‘fine-tune’ parameters
This provides a dynamic view of all cutting parameters and the affect they have on the milling process.
Fine tune sliders
All of the Fine tune parameters are defined within the Glossary of Terms.
Each parameter is fine-tuned via a slider that could have any of the features shown in the following diagram:
The units displayed for the sliders could be imperial or metric, depending on the ‘session settings’ (see Cutting Parameters Layout (#9)).
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. |
