 | Cut |
Represents a cutting path in the woodwork automation system.
A cut path is a complete cutting operation definition including lead-in, main cut, and lead-out segments.
Cut paths manage the offset direction and lead behaviors necessary for smooth, safe cutting transitions,
ensuring proper tool entry and exit from the workpiece material while maintaining cut quality and precision
in CNC machining operations.

SyntaxThe CutPath type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Cut | Returns the main cutting Contour that defines the actual cut geometry. The cut contour is composed of segments and arcs and can be open or closed, specifying the precise shape to be produced by the cutting operation. |
| LeadIn | Returns the lead-in Lead trajectory that safely approaches the main cutting path. The lead-in trajectory uses lead types (Direct, Tangent, Arc, or Ramp) to ensure smooth tool engagement and reduces initial cutting stress on the tool. |
| LeadOut | Returns the lead-out Lead trajectory that safely exits the main cutting path. The lead-out trajectory uses lead types (Direct, Tangent, Arc, or Ramp) to ensure smooth tool disengagement and prevents abrupt tool withdrawal from the material. |
| OffsetSide | Returns the offset side indicating which side of the path the cutting tool operates on as defined by OffsetSideEnum. The offset side determines tool positioning relative to the cutting path for proper material removal. |
| ToCut | Returns the transition Lead connecting the lead-in to the main cut. This optional geometry bridges the lead-in approach with the actual cutting path initiation. |
