This is a continuous 4 Axis operation where the tool stays normal to selected Drive Surfaces.  Gouge checking is performed against the selected Drive Surfaces.  This operation is similar to 5 Axis Surface Normal machining but in continuous 4 Axis mode.  The Cut Pattern options are similar to 4 Axis Parallel Finishing but with a few additional options.
