"Stock Resolution" in High Speed toolpath ??

[Rosko]

Hi, I'm using the Surface High Speed toolpaths and I'm wondering what exactly the term "stock resolution" is reffering to under the Rest Roughing/Cut Parameters tab. Is this the amount of stock that was left in the previous operation or does it mean something else. I couldnt find the term in the mastercam help files. I'm on MCX2 MR2 SP1.

 

Thanks!

I think it has more to do with how close a tolerance you want for the stock to use in the toolpath.

Ahh, that makes sense. I just wanted to make sure it had nothing to do with the cut tolerance of the finished part, the default value was .01" I believe and I though that seemed pretty high.

Restmill stock resolution

Stock resolution is the amount the stock model is sampled, entered as a distance. It is used for restmill and high speed rest roughing toolpaths. A smaller value tightens up the stock model and creates a more accurate toolpath. A larger value loosens the stock model and creates a faster but less accurate toolpath.
