Is two stage carving available in MillMage?

MillMage Software Questions
1

I have an X-Carve CnC and have successfully done several carves with MillMage. I am trying to do a carve using two different bits, one on a roughing pass and one on a detailed pass, changing bits between the carves. I have tried to do this using to separate projects, but it is not working. What is the best way to run MillMage with a roughing cut and a detailed cut?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Wayne,

You would use the Rest Pocket operation, or stock to leave.

I tried using the pocket option

If you click the link above, you can see details on the Rest Pocket operation.

This allows you to go finish up a pocket with a smaller diameter tool, without recutting surfaces already reached with a bigger tool.
