Having problem with depth cuts between contour and pocketing.

[metsj373]

Hi, I am trying to pocket out a small sqaure on a cell plate. The pocket is .1875 deep. I am also contouring a channel that will lead into the pocket. I set both depth cuts to .1875 but when I run the simulation, my contoured channel is always deeper then my pocket. I have no idea why this is happening and have tried a few things but found no success. I even modeled the entire program over and I am still having the same problem. Anyone have any solutions to this problem, it seems simple but I cannot figure it out.

set the depths to absolute and -.1875 and see if that corrects the issue

is the break thru option turned on for one of your paths? i remember that stumped me in the past, or maybe the length comp is set to center on one and tip on the other?

Where is your zero? Top or bottom or somewhere else?

My zero is on the top of stock. Perhaps later when I can get into the lab at my school, I can take some screenshots and show the problem that is occuring. Both depths are set to absolute -.1875". I can check the length comp, not sure if I checked that or not.
