    [CAM] Check stock

    Hi, How do You protect the vise or any other fixture? It is common, that we machine right above the jaws, with ie. 0.2mm clearance, because the minimum Z is easily be compared on the machine, but the X position of the part is not so exact, so it would be better some bigger safety distance ie...

    Hi there, I've been trying to fill my tools' cutting data to the maching data library. First, I tried it on the first tab of the 'Edit maching data libraries', called Machining data. I selected the tool material, the cut method, and the part material, and set a new record. Yes, but in this case...
