The function of a 'dry run' in CNC machining is to simulate the execution of a CNC program without actually cutting any material. During a dry run, the machine moves through the programmed toolpath, but the spindle does not rotate, and the cutting tool does not engage the workpiece. This allows the operator to verify the program's correctness and identify potential problems before risking damage to the machine, the tool, or the workpiece. A dry run can help identify several potential problems. First, it can reveal progr....
