As to my finish pass question, I use tools that have the same cutting diameter and shank diameter. If my feature is deeper than the flute length I cut several roughing depths. If it cuts only one finish pass at full depth then the shank will interfere with the wall above. But if it cuts a finish pass at each depth then there is no problem. Make sense? In Mastercam there is a check box for this. I'm not seeing a way to do it in Bobcad.
Thanks for the input.
