      <div class="title_division">Feed Rate</div>
      <p class="para_division">Feed rates for different tool path motions can be displayed by activating the Feed Rates button.&nbsp; You can change or set the feed rate values and units for the following motion types: &nbsp;Rapid, Engage, Cut, Retract, Traverse, Approach, and Return.</p>
      <div class="title_division">&nbsp;Machine</div>
      <p class="para_division">When the Machine button is activated, the Machine Dialog will appear.</p>
      <div class="title_division">&nbsp;Finish</div>
      <p class="para_division">Finish passes are sometimes desired to achieve better finish to the thread. They cleanup the material left on the thread due to deflection of the cutter. With Thread Milling you can define multiple chase passes, an optional SKIP, RETRACT, and STOP. Also, you can check the thread size.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Machine Control </div>
      <p class="para_division">For each finish pass you can apply stop, skip, and retract by toggling on the Stop, Skip and Retract in the Machine Control dialog. You also can specify the number of passes required for Finishing by entering a value in the No. of Passes field.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Cutter Compensation</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can set Cutter Compensation to Active or Inactive. The processor automatically provides the LEFT/RIGHT parameter to the CUTCOM.&nbsp; If the Cutcom option is set to Active, the Minimum Move and the Minimum Angle values are output along with the CUTCOM statement. &nbsp;You can output Register Number and Plane optionally by activating the corresponding toggle buttons. </p>
      <p class="para_division">For Planar Milling, Face Milling, and Cavity Milling, Cutter Compensation is available in the <b class="uiTerm">Non Cutting Moves</b> dialog box in the <b class="uiTerm">Cutter Compensation</b> page.
