"As it pertains to the system you use (CAMBAM) does it offer rest
milling?"


I just forgot to respond to that. Why yes; it does have a feature like
that, although it wasn't name ReSt. It's called 'finishing MOps' in
CamBam.

Only stock that was not removed in prior Machining Operations is removed
in a finishing pass. The 'roughing' phase can be as fine as you wish,
with finishing removing as little as a fraction of a tenth, if you've got
the tools and machine to handle it.

It's not a dumb piece of hobby-soft, just low-priced, and missing many of
the 3D visualization tools that would be very nice to have.

Again... what's the price for a seat of FeatureCam? CamBam (alone, not
bundled with other software) is $149.

One thing I don't understand about the demo you showed us is why
FeatureCam would leave stock you wouldn't already know about? In CamBam,
if you specify a 'roughing' clearance, you can be certain there's exactly
that much material left for the Remaining Stock removal pass, except, of
course in corners that aren't over-cut, in which case the remaining stock
is a function of tool radius.

It almost appeared in the demo that one has to go FIND areas that aren't
finished in FeatureCam (using the model-check tool) ???
