Parameters:

Total depth of Machining: the actual total depth of machining required ;

Max depth of Surface: the max depth of surface is to machine.

Clearance: you can set surface remain which is the shortest distance between the original surface and surface after carving.

Rate: is the ratio of the width of the tool bottom blade to the width of the last tool path.

Angle of Line cut: is the angle formed by horizontal direction and the tool when it moving on material.
