In contrast to <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('mfgturning/turn_r_cleanup.html');return(false);">cleanup</a>, profiling follows either the entire part boundary or certain portions of it such as individual reversals. All rough cuts for the entire cut region or for the respective reversal currently machined are carried out first, and only then does profiling takes place. As the strategies provided in profiling are the same as those provided for finishing, the profiling functionality is only provided in roughing. You can choose eight different strategies for both profiling and finishing to determine which movements the tool makes.
