I've been reading through these posts for the past month or so, while attempting to extend my CAD skills into the CAM/CNC realm. Amazing site to say the least. I can't believe the amount of knowledge floating around this place. Anyway, I am using MCX to mill some fairly simple 3D surfaces. This is almost as bad as learning Pro-E was.
My big question for now is: How do I get a 3D surface toolpath to clear out the stock above the surface before it mills the surface? I thought there would be a way to set depth cuts like with a pocket or contour toolpath but I can't find anything similar. Am I missing something obvious here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
