Ok here is the vid for anyone interested, I never even selected a different tool so it is the BobCAD default of 12.7mm, so is likely larger than would be used.

Oh also I was importing a sat file at the start as I use Cubify for my models instead of BobCAD, just in case anyone was wondering ::)

Ok no probs, I have just made a short video showing the open pocket and uploading to Youtube but sounds like you know what you are doing now :)
Will still upload anyway as it might help others.
I have not done anything except the open pocket, so no profiles or anything, just showing steps needed for that part :)

The helping hand is much appreciated, I'll still have a look, I'm new to all this and I know I've a lot to learn ;-)
ATB,
Nick

I am fairly new to BobCAD as well but I am liking it, I have concentrated more on Lathe but have done a few things in Mill and the open pocket is a very handy feature.
For some reason the simulation got snipped off in the video but the important steps for the open pocket are there.

Hood,
Just a quick, but big, Thanks!
With your assistance and some help from Al and the guys at BobCad/Cam I completed the project, learned a big chunk about CAM and got my heat treatment furnace door mounted.



The brackets are a little rough-and-ready as cosmetics aren't an issue, but the hole spacing is spot-on and function is perfect,
Regards,
Nick

Oh the joys of learning.
   Congrats. I understand the excitement. It is just watching a robot (CNC machine) do the work I find amazing.
I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not like the passengers in the car! :-)

Excellent Nick,
I am really warming to BobCAD, it seems to be very nice and once you get into the way of doing things it is really quite fast to use.
