      <p class="para_topic">Lathe Groove allows you to cut inside diameter, outside diameter, and face grooves using one of two basic methods: Automatic or Plunge. Automatic allows you to define grooves by selecting boundary geometry. Plunge allows you to define grooves by entering numeric values and does not require any modeled geometry.</p>
