Re: Technique for parting a part

Milling..

Take a super simple example..

Billet - W4" D3" H1"
Part - W3.5" D2.5" H.75" (just a rectangle - this isn't a real part,
just an example).

Would you machine away .25" of the height and then cut all the way
down to remove the part? I worried that the part will get kicked
into space after it cuts the very last remaining stock that is
attached to the part.
