    Facing operation

    First off, I'm new to BOBCAD but have been machine for several years, I have a lot of experience in GIBBS-cam, and learning the features of Bobcam in the last few days has been very painfull to do very simple things.
    I have a Hass MiniMill in my garage and have been using Gibbs (from my day job) to program this machine. I want some independence from my day job so I bought BobCad for use at home.
    But anyway on to my question:

    Can anyone here explain how to get a facing operation to work correctly?
    I want to face with a 2" face mill and take .010 of the top of my stock. Bob cad is forcing a finish pass with a second (finishing)tool. I only want 1 pass with the "roughing" tool. We does it force a finish pass when it is not needed?
    Thanks Mike

    Thanks To Orizaba for answering this in the Enhancments post.
    Entering 0.000 in the finish tool Diameter took care of this issue.
