Aggression Control Sliders

There are two Aggression Control sliders:

• Tool Life ↔︎ Productivity - displayed when Cutting Parameters is opened (see the screenshot, above).

• Rubbing ↔︎ Chipping - displayed whenis clicked (see below).

Clicking removes the 'Rubbing ↔︎ Chipping’ slider.

Using the Sliders

Aggression Control sliders are so named because they indicate the level of ‘aggressive control’ you assign over a tool in the machining operation:

The blue circle can be moved to any position along the slider:

• More aggressive - the more the selected position is to the right, the more aggressive the approach.

  • Increased productivity tends to a decreased tool life.

  • Increased risk of chipping tends to a decreased risk of rubbing.

• Less aggressive - the more the selected position is to the left, the less aggressive the approach.

  • Increased tool life tends to decreased productivity.

  • Increased risk of rubbing tens to a decreased risk of chipping.
