v9 restmill stock resolution

[Quickmike]

Could someone please explain in detail how the stock resolution in v9 surface restmill works. I looked at the help file but it was not all that clear to me. Best I can tell it looks like it is a cut tolerance for what the "roughing tool " cut to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I thought I would bring this thread back to the top to see if any one can help me out.

I am with you Quickmike will be interesting know me too.

BTW did anybody play with machining in compare

leftover hybrid and rest mill for example 3D machining of cavity with fillet in corners.

What better to use for such tasks.

This controls the accuracy of the stock representation. The stock is sampled at regular intervals, stock resolution apart. Use a smaller number to have a more accurate representation (which may take longer) or use a larger number to calculate more quickly (but have a coarser stock approximation). The benefit exists if you want speed or accuracy you have the control. Keep in mind this is a roughing routine so if your approximation is set too coarse , there is a possibility of missing areas of stock.
