This method is similar to 2½ Axis Pocketing and machines closed regions as if they were pockets - completely enclosed by inner and outer regions. The tool cannot go beyond the outer region, and cannot go within inner regions. This is unlike Facing, in which the outermost region is considered to enclose material to be removed. The machining regions can be selected from a cylindrical surface.
