The Rectangular Stock shape is the standard cube of stock most often used in 2 and 3 axis milling.<br />
Let’s take a closer look at this dialog box:<br />
• Material. This is the type of material comprising the stock.<br />
• Name. Displays the name of the stock. Currently only one stock is supported at a time so the<br />
name field is not editable.<br />
• Z Top Of Stock. Sets the Z-axis of the top surface of the material.<br />
• Stock Thickness. Set the thickness of the stock. This is always a positive value and extends<br />
downward from the Z Top Of Stock setting above.<br />
• Stock Length (Y). This sets the size of the stock rectangle in the Y axis.<br />
• Stock Width (X). This sets the size of the stock rectangle in the X axis.<br />
• Clearance<br />
• Rapid Plane. This value sets the global retract plane for the entire stock. It is taken into<br />
account in every feature under this stock in the tree.<br />
• Work Offset #. If the stock is set up on to use a specific work offset on the machine, use this<br />
field to choose the offset that is output into the posted program.<br />
