      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Select the plunge alternate strategy  <img align="bottom" src="graphics/strategies/plunge_alternate.gif" border="0">.

         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Select a large cutting minimum depth using Cutting&rarr;Minimum Depth. This value should be large enough that the system only performs the initial plunge. Any subsequent plunges are prohibited by the large value of this setting.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Select Avoidance, then check the Return Motion check box. Select the option Clear Radial from the drop down menu. This ensures that the tool moves safely out of the groove.</p>
