    roughing and finish pass

    I'm selecting the bottom face of a pocket. Choosing to rough with a 1/2" EM. Now, I need to go back with a 1/4" EM to clean up the corners, and where webs still exist between areas to small for the larger end mill.

    Gibbs cam is new to us, I can knock it out on Pro/NC no problem. I'm working late into the night on this, so any help would be appreciated.

    Do another roughing op, but check "use stock" and "material only". Its at the bottom of the roughing prosses window.
