    Default Set neck/p90 pockets

    Hello, I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to cut my 3d model I created from solidworks. I want to use a 1/2 to rough and 1/4 to clean up. My question is what steps do you take when doing pockets like this one? One by one or can I do both pickup pockets and neck pocket at the same time?? Please help me I'm about to jump out the window!!!Set neck/p90 pockets

    Also I've tried doing pockets on these but it won't cut out the bottom part of the pickup oposite from the open pocket

    I like to keep the machining of features separate that way they can be tweaked or machined at different times. I assume it's the different depths that are causing headaches, but maybe you've got angled surfaces in there too ? Not sure what CAM you are using and what it supports but I do something like this: Make a configuration named "No NJ" (etc) and suppress your cut features for the Neck joint. Then pocket for your pickups. Do similarly for the neck joint with the P90 pockets suppressed - you might be fine that them as-is by using the NJ edge as the machining boundary.
