the trouble with the holder.mc9 file definition is in English units,so for metric users please do not save it as metric or else your holder will be monstrous!and you need to adjust the dia. here and save the file in ENGLISH!Then only will it appear to be the correct size when you backplot or verify.please don't use the parameters in the tool definition,it won't work!adjust the dia. in the holder.mc9 file!
you can stop the metacut from appearing in your operation manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the processes tab,end MCU2cam.exe,this should also clear away the verbose comments from MCU when you post procees your nc file

i just did a copper electrode with a sharp corner radius joined together in 3d contour.i tried a parallel surface toolpath but i couldn't apply a negative stock for spark gap.i wonder anybody tried other methods.i tried reducing cutter diameter to compensate for spark gap and lower z offsets to compensate for spark gaps but found mismatch with previously cut profile using ball nose cutter which couldn't cut a sharp 3d profile.i wonder could anybody help me out?thanks
