Description
The Face Mill tool creates a path to perform a facing operation on a horizontal surface.
Caveats
Using it on an inclined plane may produce unexpected results: it will still produce a path to cut a horizontal surface. The extent of the cut will be the horizontal projection of the inclined plane, performed at a height corresponding to the lowest point in that plane.
