When the Rapid Retract option is active, the retract movement will be performed with the
Rapid Feed.
Depth
The Depth defines a further offset of the tool in the axial direction (especially for swarf
operations).
This command shifts each point of the tool path in the vector direction of the tool. The
start position of the cutting will also be shifted. The gouge control will take out all the
gouges that result from this shift.
