Profile milling NC Sequence is a 2.5 axis sequence. It is
usually used to semifinish or finish the vertical or slanted
surfaces.

Testimonials
"I was impressed with how thorough the
tutorials were. I have been using Pro/NC for years but still
learned many new techniques.
I have taken many classes through
VAR's, PTC and Rand and have never been happy with them. I
always left the classes feeling as though things were missed
or scanned over quickly. Before I made things work but had
to do more work to get the results I wanted.
Your tutorials covered everything and
are very intuitive. Highly recommended."
