Re: Flashcut questions

When you hump something do you do it with one hump or you you take several
humps to complete the mission? ( Its a rhetorical question) Same with the Z
axis if you need to cut 1" deep and your machine will only take .1" depth of
cut without a problem then you would need 10 cuts at.1" to machine the
hump. More gratifying too! :)
