An overview of the basic milling toolpath parameters using the Face milling strategy.

2D Face Milling is planer machining process. It's sometimes called 2.5 axis machining because all of the cuts are limited to a 2 axis plane (normally XY) and the depth cuts are taken in the 3rd axis (normally Z). When you select the 2D pull down, there are a variety of toolpaths that represent this type of machining.
Toolpath Parameters This video is includes an overview of the toolpath dialogs. It discusses their similarities and differences.
