Styloid Raise

Styloid Dells have a minimum value of -20mm, and Raises have a max value of +10mm.

A positive value in this field will request a Styloid Raise. Selecting a positive value will display a list of available materials that can be selected.


Styloid Dell

A negative value in this field will request a Styloid Dell. Selecting a negative value will display a list of available materials that can be selected.

Remember that the depth of a Styloid Dell is limited by the height of the styloid from the ground.

The adjustment will generally be blended with a smoothing function in software, or during manual finishing post-machining.
