7.6.2 Cut tolerance
The Cut tolerance is the tolerance for the accuracy of the tool path. A tight Cut tolerance gives you
more tool path points on the drive surface. Therefore the generated tool path is more accurate. The
result of the machining is a very good surface quality but the calculation time is increased.
A loose Cut tolerance generates less points on the tool path. After the machining, the surface is
rougher but the calculation time is much faster.
