The router mills all material within an area defined by a closed curve to a specified depth determined by the student.
Typical use/Outcome
These operations are used to mill a recess partly through the stock such as for creating a grooves or notches.
Control Geometry
A closed curve placed at the top plane of the stock. This can include, rectangles, circles, polylines or nurbs curves.

Typical use/Outcome
These operations are typically used to drill pilot holes for screws/bolts, or to allow tolerances at rounded corners for square members to fit.
Control Geometry
A point placed in the centre of the circle at the top plane of the stock.
