Description

The Face Mill tool creates a path to perform a facing operation on a horizontal surface.


Caveats

Using it on an inclined plane may produce unexpected results. It will still produce a path to cut a horizontal surface. The extent of the cut will be the horizontal projection of the inclined plane at a height corresponding to the lowest point in that plane.
