Getting Started SURFCAM

Step 2: Finish the camera body
Next, you will use a Planar operation to pre-finish all the surfaces of this part. The Planar operation
creates parallel cuts across the surfaces based on a selected start point, a specified direction of
cut and the side to machine.
For this project, you will use a 0.250 inch ball mill and create cutting passes at a 45 degree angle
with a 0.030 inch step increment between each pass.
