    Pocketing Problem

    Anyone know what these black lines in SC represent? This should be a simple pocketing op, but it creates the circles in the black marks in the part.

    AFAIK it's just an artifact of the graphics processor in Sprut from the cutter representation and the tool path. I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

    The line in the middle is actually where the cutter does not completely machine down the part. It's also that way in the final part. But since I am machining that area away it;s not a big deal, just nice to know what it means.
