126" IPM at side step max (faster when side step is reduced)
.05" Side Step Max

.015" max scallop height left on surfaces
(where tool could fit, second smaller tool is needed before going to finishing)
iMachining 3D works off of a maximum scallop height left on the machined surfaces after cutting. The tool path is optimized to only produce cutting tool path where it is needed. The user enters a maximum scallop height value and with this value the Z steps are only taken in areas that would create a scallop larger than the specified scallop height. Steep walls will have very few Z levels and shallow surfaces ...
