Here you can perform finishing in continuous mode.  Multiple levels can be defined and the tool works its way from the outermost level to the innermost level.  The levels in this case are concentric to the axis of rotation.  The table rotation varies constantly as the tool is removing material.

This method is similar to 3 Axis Horizontal Finishing used for pre-finishing or finishing except that the levels in this case are concentric to the axis of rotation, typically used when the part has large vertical surfaces and when Parallel Finishing will not yield satisfactory results.
