FeedModeType

Enumeration of the following values:

fmContour
fmInternalRadius
fmToolCenterPoint

fmContour: Holds the feedrate at the contour constant.

fmInternalRadius: Reduces the feedrate at internal radii. This results in a constant velocity at the contour. The velocity at external radii is not increased.

fmToolCenterPoint: Keeps the feedrate of the tool’s center point constant. This means that at internal radii the velocity at the contour is increased, and that it is correspondingly reduced at external radii.
