Create a pocket with shallow to deeper depth

Post by wmgeorge1 »

I hope this makes sense, I would like to create a toolpath the that starts at Z zero and progressively cut the depth to about .35 inch. Not sure how to accomplish this, hope someone can steer me in right direction.

Thanks in advnace

Depending ow what otehr operations are required, but a shallow shape like this could be easily done by tilting the material.
