Plunging, Retracting, and Connecting Cuts
Z-Planes for 4- and 5-Axis Machining
Z-Planes for 4- and 5-Axis Machining
This module gives a brief explanation about z-planes, surface attitudes and
Cplanes.
Z-Planes
The following figure shows the z-planes that are used by CVNC-M5 commands.
The syntax for the commands that set up the z-planes is described in the
CVNC Milling Command Reference.

CVNC-M5 Z-Planes
When deciding on the height of the retract and approach planes, give careful
consideration to the attitude of the surface in the current machining Cplane.
Surfaces should be oriented as near to the horizontal in the machining Cplane as
possible, as shown at B in the following figure.
