This GibbsCAM Tech Tip shows you how to use the Contact Point in the 5-Axis option to give you precise control of where your tool makes contact with the surface of your part, without wasting time calculating the perfect side tilt angle.

Controlling the contact point of your tool allows you to use a specific part of the tool with a larger radius, reducing stepovers and improving surface finish. It's a simple adjustment that gives you powerful control over your toolpath.
