I'm learning/struggling with Gibbs and I find it very difficult for example: to cut out a simple 2.5 dia hole in 3/8 thk alum. plate, say starting in the center thru a 1/2" drill hole with a 1/2" mill. I want to step it out at full depth (no slug) all the way to finish. creating geometry is a pain and I don't want to use the plunging routines they give for this application. using the +stock .25 several times seems very cummersome. Am I missing something here? I would think it would be a lot easier than this to cut a circle.
Any tips would be a great help
