Milling process leads will automatically be placed at corners were possible.

 

Where a "tangent attchment" is needed (no corners) a 45 degree lead will be attempted.

 

Radial Slot Leads for Milling

The Milling tool has a setting, Radial Slot Leads, which defaults to True.  When True, if a slot is detected then leadin will be placed radially at one of the slot ends, ie aligned with the slot axis.  If false, a 45 dgree angled lead will be applied as per normal (some customers have reported better tool life with 45 degree leadins).
