Problems with adaptive ruffing

[scottsss]

Hi I wanted to give adaptive ruffing a try and ran into the problem were the part has to be below the vice jaws. the walls are just to thin. The problem is the even though I've defined a restricted zone the program keeps putting the start of the cutter were a vice jaw will be. I've played with the setting but can not figure out what I need to change. The operation is called ruffing slot. Its currently disabled.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Select your 2D geometry as the job zone. Double click on the "Chain" entry to open the Item Properties dialog. Set the tool contact to "Inside" and pull the job zone a little away from the vice jaws by setting a negative stock (in this case -0.05).
The result should look like this:

Good luck
