@cahlfors Did you realy select tool 2? I don't se it the Job and it is not selected on the tooltable. If i just click "surface" i got the same output first, but after setting the hights and depths to the right values i got a proper path for the face.box.jpg 1 No, I selected tool #1 on the...

I tried to select tool #2 with the same result. Here is tool #1 again, this time with a pocket operation. Same result: Markering_017.png As can be seen, none of the tools in the table is 5mm. I may be able to duplicate point 3 (simple rectangle). This is all the path I am getting for a facing operat...

That would be fine if the correct diam...

You are not talking about artefacts in the path object but about the left overs not getting milled due to radius compensation? I mean the leftovers in the corners that are not getting milled because of the radius of the tool, which is just touching the outer boundary instead of milling clear, which...

Thanks for reaching out!

I was planning to use the facing operation (50mm face mill) and there you can select the entire part. Pockets have the disadvantage of creating artifacts in the corners. Ideally, the part should not require cutting, filing etc. postprocessing.

Here it is

Hello forum! I am trying to mill the following object: Markering_014.png What's the intended strategy to do this? 1 Face mill the upper step and then 2 face mill the lower step, or 3 pocket mill the lower step, or 4 something else?
