Hi Guys,
I have a circular pocket. I am fitting a part to it by hand. What is the easiest way to remove say for example 0.1mm material from the wall around the diameter of the pocket? I don't want to modify the model if possible (maybe this is not possible). Is there an operation or operation setting where I can choose the wall and specify material removal like this?
It's the opposite of leaving stock on the wall..

many thanks,
James

Try cutter compensation

Use Synchronous Modeling
Move face or radial dimension

radial dimension

If you are doing this on the NC machine, then program with cutter compensation, and adjust on the control.
If you are doing this in the CAM program, use stock, which can be negative.
If you are doing this to the model, edit the feature or use synchronous.
