Trochoidal milling (high-efficiency or dynamic milling) cuts slots and pockets with a series of overlapping circular arcs at shallow radial engagement but deep axial depth. Keeping tool engagement constant and low lets it run high feeds and speeds with far better tool life than conventional slotting.
It's a CAM-generated strategy central to modern high-efficiency roughing, especially in hard and gummy materials.
