Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] BobCAD users

Perhaps you are seeing the "clean-up" pass that most pocketing routines
generate. Does it do one more pass around the square, or more than one?
Does the part "finish" to the expected I.D.'s? Try "painting" the roughed
pocket with blueing dye, and check to see if it's the last thing removed.
Maybe you didn't cancel the pocketing code properly.
