    Machining all of the work piece

    Hello,
    I'm sure this is a simple thing but when using a 2D contouring operation to cut out a part down to a given depth, is there a way to make Sprutcam clear off all of the extra workpiece down to that given depth and not leave parts of the extra work piece still there. I want to be able to cut the first side, flip the part and hold onto the part (not the workpiece) to flycut the second side.
    Thanks much.
    Steve

    It seems to me that a roughing waterline operation would be used first to "not leave parts of the extra work piece". To do this, adjust the waterline operation parameters to add radial stock clearance and adjust the bottom level.
    Then use the 2D contouring to finish the part on one side. Flip the part, repeat and then fly cut carrier stock off.

    After I wrote the question I thought the same thing. I will add a waterline operation to it tonight and see how it comes out.
    Thanks for the help.
