(: This can wait till after Lathe Cam (;

When milling larger pockets in Alu I find i am mostly limiting the entire Op to the feedrate i need, when doing that first cut after the plunge (since thats a full tool width cut) - whereas for the rest of the pocket, i can easily override to 200% using the feedrate override. (got to remember to reset before it starts the next pass)

Doing a little research, https://www.nexgencam.com/hsm-tips-tricks/item/understanding-hsmworks-adaptive-clearing-toolpaths explained why HSM/F360 etc recommend Adaptive.

EstlCAM has it as https://youtu.be/3DkiBwo5zqQ?t=126 - called Peel Pocketing (Nice sim and explanation in the video)

What do you think @tbfleming? Any chance of going after this? Would drastically improve pocketing job times (;
