    Help creating Passes with Goaround command?

    im using the goaround command so i can create tabs, not using the menu to the side to use contour. how do i make it create extra passes as opposed to one single cut? i could just be blind but is there an option? thank you

    so if you define the tool as a certain depth you wont have to create extra passes in the options window of the contour as well? if so thats pretty cool. thanks

    yup
    you tell it the tool wil cut in 2mm passes in cut depth in tool def
    then it will only cut a max of 2 mm in one go
    if your part is 1.5 mm thick it will cut at 1.5 mm even tho you give a cut depth of 2mm
    hope you understand that :-)
