Hi!
My stock is mostly sheet material and I use the contour operation (with tabs) to get the parts out of the stock. This generates a slot arround the parts with the width of the tool diameter. Sometimes the slot becomes very deep compared to the tool diameter.
It would be a nice to have an option in the contour operation to cut the slots with an adjustable width (tool diameter + x) and use an adaptive clearing (trochoidal) toolpath to machine it.
This will help with chip evacuation, reduce cutting forces and extend tool lifetime.
Cheers,
Heiko
