Pocket/Island example 4

This example shows a rectangular pocket with an island in the center. The island is in the form of a diamond. This example is similar to Example 1 but uses the coarse tool feature by first using a roughing tool and then a finer tool. The initial roughing tool has 1" diameter. A subsequent finer roughing tool is a 1/4” diameter end mill. Using the coarse tool feature usually results in reduced machining time. The finer tool only machines the material that the coarser tool cannot machine.
