Side Finish

Use Side Finish to remove side stock left by a previously programmed pocket cycle.

Side Finish must be programmed immediately after a compatible pocket cycle that has left side stock. All side stock is removed in one pass if no DepthCut is specified. Multiple finish passes are possible using SideStock.

Islands definitions apply to this cycle, and will be avoided, and sides finished if active.

Islands need to be re-defined after the pocket cycle, before the Side Finish call.
