These values are based on the leg of the U being 1" wide.
I think Bobcad kinda screwed up the naming of the Stock remaining and Spring passes, but that's my opinion. If you take the Stock and divide by Spring pass, that's your approx. stepover amount.
The neg. Side allowance lets the tool overlap the edge of the part.
Play around with the numbers and recompute and you'll see how they work.
Only use the Rough tool, leave the Finish tool at 0 dia..
Good luck,
