difference stepover and clearance pass stepover?

Post by Ottle »

Hello.

Please can anyone tell me the difference between stepover and clearance pass stepover (to the engraving tool options)

Stepover is OK, I know what it is and when it comes, but when I need and see the clearance pass stepover?

Hi Ron,

I can't say it better than the Help Contents does. Please see below and ask if it doesn't make sense.

It's been a long time since the last post, but I have a question about this -- why does the clearance pass stepover option show up for a tapered ball nose bit? Is it because it has kind of a "V" shape as well?
