The 5 Axis Surface cycle is designed to use the tip (end) of the tool to follow the selected surface(s) of a 3D solid.

The Advanced 2D Pocketing utilizes numerous parameters to generate the most efficient toolpath around a pocket. There are parameters to control the lead in motion, stepover distance, stepover type, and more.

The Advanced 2D Pocketing will start at a point inside the pocket and create offset tool paths, moving toward the outside of the pocket.
