The full block placed on the CNC bed (cut into pieces afterwards).
If the parent block is engraved as a single piece (e.g. sculpture), set this to the same size as the parent.
Number of passes is calculated as ceil(required depth ÷ plunge depth per pass).
Plunge depth rules tuned to your real-world experience: fine engraving on small blocks → 6 mm flat; logos & sculptures → plunge per pass = bit diameter; V-bits → industry standard. Material is informational only (Carbide and HSS use the same upper-end parameters).
