Lathe question

[petro7]

Can someone tell me how to define the stock for two different operations. 1st I want to face and turn the first side of my part. then I want to turn the part around and face turn and bore the second side which has .250 to face off. when I face the first side m/c thinks there is no stock left, so when I face the second side it wants to take all the material with one cut. I usally do this with two different files redefining the stock each time. I was hoping to cut down on files and just use levels.

 

Thanks

sorry, forgot V9 stuff. But there is a flip stock there also, just never used it in V9.

 

I think it went like this......

 

 

In the operations manager, right mouse click, toolpaths, misc. ops, stock flip

 

Hope that helps
