Just one file for both operations.
If corner radius are larger than the roughing cutter and the flutes edges are good enough for finish then use same tool. If not then just use smaller tool for the finish so it can clear the corners, always use a tool just little smaller than the corner radius. But in both cases it can all be done in one file.
With circler pockets or holes Spiral rather than ramp if possible.
When you change tools the G-code file just stops tells you to change the tool and waits for you. You then can jog the machine to easy position to change the tool. After changing the tool you reset the new Z height by touching off the material again and setting zero. Then just press cycle start and the cutting continues.
The Cam software will have taken care of tool offsets when created the g-code.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 19-02-2016 at 10:54 PM.
