Stock, clamps and fixture placement

Model the real setup and check that the cutter, holder and spindle clear it.

Step by step

1. Secure the blank against the chosen fixture faces. Check it cannot rock, lift or slide under cutting load.
2. Open Stock, clamps & tools from job review. Enter stock and fixture bounds in MACHINE millimetres, including clamps that protrude above the blank.
3. Check expected WCS and safe clearance height against the CAM job. Work coordinates and machine coordinates are different frames.
4. Include the fitted tool and holder dimensions. Review the transformed route and all preflight findings after changing geometry.
5. Inspect the placement in the 3D Viewer and perform an appropriate supervised clearance check before cutting.
