    pocket first or contour?

    Hi,


    my part looks kinda like a shallow tray with a small projection sticking out

    3 questions;

    a) Should i run surface rough pocket and then surface rough contour or the other way?

    b) When i run rough restmill,it eats into the walls of the tray though i asked it to finish the leftovers of the previous op.

    c) The depth of the projection doesn't seem to be enough.can i measure the graphic from verify.

    i am using mcam9

    Thanks
