here is a screen shot of the operations I use to cut this mold. it is a 5 inch bait
the 1st one is Feature 2 axis, that uses a flycutter to face off the top.
then next on is 1/4" BN does a rough and advanced planar. so on and so on.
looks like 6 operations with 4 tool changes.
you have to figure out how you are going to cut, how deep to cut and or stepover, how fast to cut.
also you have to know what rpms to run the spindle.
