how to thickness plane your stock

[jb102167]

After facing my stock, I need to turn it over and face (or thickness plane) the other side of the material to the exact thickness of my model. How is this done?

Create a second setup and define your heights accordingly?

Would I do a tool touch at the spoil board (vacuum jig). If so, how would I alter my heights tabs to get the thickness I am after

It would be easier to explain and show if you could share an example file.

Are you setting your WCS zero as well as your tool offsets on the spoil board or the top of the finished part or top of stock?

One way is to program your part with the tool always being set to the top of your spoil board. Doing it this way, then you only have to set the tool once. See attached.
