Num of circ points This item appears only in Circle, Slot, Keyhole, Rectangle, and Pommel shapes |
This item is the number of points you choose to define around the circle. For rectangle shapes, normally this is set to 0 and CR is used with a single point in the corner. If this is a non 0 value, the corner will be turned into circular motion and the number indicates how many points will be used in each corner. |

This item is the distance the tool travels up out of the workpiece when the cut is completed. |
Retract speed |
This item is the speed of the tool as it travels up out of the workpiece when the cut is completed. |
Speed units |
This item is the speed measurement in mm/sec, cm/min, or in/min. |
