Oh trust me, there's a dozen way's I'd like to hold it, I'm just happy to be making a mitee bites fixture. It took convincing just to do that! Slowly I'll start building our work holding. Also thanks Rekd! Worked like a charm

Extremely novice question, but either I'm not phrasing my searches right or no one has asked this: How can I face the top of my stock while it's clamped directly to the machine table and not hit the clamps along the top and bottom edge on a 3 axis vertical mill? I set up a wireframe rectangle but the toolpath always ends up running the facemill outside the box, am I able to tell the program to keep the tool inside the box? Then I can build a second op to clean up the rest of the face after moving the clamps. I know there's ways to clamp it from the side, but the shop is still limited on tooling so I need to make due with basic table clamps. Thanks in advance! Op 1.pdf
