Important: Figure 24.9 does not show the optional final pass being made.
This is for drawing clarity.
In Figure 24.9, after the roughing passes of one pocket have been
completed, the control does not perform a normal retract move out of the
pocket. Instead the control follows the contour out of the pocket and then
proceeds on to the next pocket or finishes the routine.
