Yesterday when I was doing pockets with krabzCam.
I was thinking it would make it a lot more attractive to have finishing passes if it were easier to create one.
As I understand it, it's possible to to do a pocket with: "Roughing clearance (mm)" set, and after that do a "Profile inside" operation. To clean the whole cut at once.

Wouldn't it be easier to have something like two extra inputs:

  1. check box "Enable finishing pass"
  2. when the "Enable finishing pass" checkbox is enabled an extra text-input-box appears: "Finishing pass width (mm): "

So when you enable [1] and enter 0.2mm into [2] you'll first do a pocket with a clearance of 0.2mm from the sides. Next you'll do a profile inside for this last 0.2mm from [2] and cut these at full-depth. To get rid of all the Z lines.

Do you think this could be useful?

Hi, thanks for the input!
I think I will leave this as is for now. It's a good idea, but I'm a little bit concerned about the added complexity, both in the user interface and in the code.
I would like to keep the issue open and think a little bit more about it.
