When making rough cuts, do you sometimes try to cut a certain distance from where you actually want to cut so that you have little to cut during the final cuts. I mean, if the right side of a wall that you want to make is at X30 and X40 would make the cut there, do you ever back off to X45 so that you do not have as much for when you cut at X40? I guess it would be a rough rough cut. I think it might make for neater edges as long as you do not edge up yanking out chips or wood fibers.
You can see in this video the difference between the finish created on the ways of the pocket during roughing and the final pass that leaves a much smoother wall https://youtu.be/fma_wuE9dx4?t=3m15s
Another bit of info I just recalled. I’m fairly sure roughing passes are milled with conventional cutting and the final is done with a climb cut. My memory on this point could be fuzzy out completely wrong. If so, I’m sure someone that actually has a running mill will set me straight.
