Re: Finish allowance on spiral pocket over cut

That was my understanding always but in this case the result is not correct. It is fine for all other operations but not spiral pocket. I re cut the same parts but used contour operation and the result is correct. There seem to be an issue with spiral pockets

Tool not found problem

When I generate a Gcode file this error occurs. I cannot tell if the file is broken or not and if the issue is critical. Notice that Tool 1 does exist in the tool table.
