Spiral Machining is a method of generating a spiral toolpath. It can be used efficiently for circular regions. Single/multiple regions must be selected and activated to generate the spiral toolpath. The toolpath will be generated only within the activated regions.  The cut patterns generated could be in the climb or the conventional direction. In the climb directional the cutter always moves in the counter-clockwise direction and in the conventional direction the cutter follows a clockwise path.
