If the machining operation requires several points of insertion, the retraction height
can be programmed:
• To retraction plane
• Z0 + safety clearance (SC)
On making the transition to the next insertion point, the tool returns to this height.
If no elements greater than Z0 are in the pocket area, Z0 + safety clearance (SC)
can be programmed as the retraction mode.

3.5.10 Finishing the contour pocket
If you programmed stock removal from the pocket with a finishing
allowance for the base or edge of the pocket, you still have to finish
the pocket.
Separate blocks must be programmed for finishing the base and/or for
finishing the edge. In each case, the pocket will only be machined
once.
When finish cutting, ShopMill takes any existing island(s) into account
as is the case for rough cutting.
