Tool Path Description:
 The tool path follows the profile of the contour steps.
 The Z step size is determined by the system and will not exceed the
specified distance or number of passes.
 The tool retracts to the active datum's retract position between Z
passes.
 Approach and departure moves are optional. For LINE, the tool
approaches/departs with a linear move tangent to the first or last
step of the contour.
 For ARC, the tool approaches/departs with a tangential arc to a
location away from the contour.
 A finish allowance is optional. If specified, this amount of material
is left on the side of the contour to be removed on the finish pass.
 When finish feed is 0, the finish pass will be skipped.
