Sensible settings & ramp in dressup

We'll do the following:

• use a higher feed (as we are milling xps)
• use a step over of 25% of tool diameter
• adapt the step down 2.5mm to get the full depth at 2 passes (actually not necessary for xps
• add a path dressup which adds a ramp to the plunging into the material

Finishing passes & holding tags

We'll do the following:

• add a finishing pass to the pocket inner contour, based on the edges
• add a finishing pass to the island contour based on the face
• add a holding tag dressup to the island countour pass

For the passes I use climb milling (setting ccw).
Why? See my milling precision experiments discussed here and here.

Sliptonic has great Freecad videos. Regarding holding tag dressup.

We did not cover how to set the starting point for the path. I f you need it, have a look at sliponics video
