surface mill

Post by derbuechsenmacher »

I have a very simple test model. It;s a 0.125 inch circular pad. i have my stock setup to be 1/2 inch larger on the x and y axes and the z is 0.125 above the top (my stock is 0.25). I'm wanting to do a surface milling to take the stock down to the height of the actual part (mill 1/8 inch off the total surface). When I do a surface milling operation on the part, it just mills the circle down to the proper dimension. Short of creating a new body and a new path for the stock size, is there any way to surface mill the stock to dimension.
