STC Titan 7m Op2 Simulation + Stock + Vice jaws , is ready for viewing.
Nice demonstration for saving 1st Op stock to use on 2nd Op process. I have broke an insert or two on the facing operation for this part. When it faces the final pass, the large remnant is violently thrown and occasionally the offending insert that was engaged when the remnant released from body was also fractured or thrown out of facing head. I would like to think this is happening to others also. So instead of facing the part first, I ran a contour pass with .050" offset around the outside contour, then faced the part. Just an idea if anybody else sees their remnants snapping off

I remember at some shops we had to band saw those chunks off. So to think of that - Something I learned in the Mastercam as they have Dynamic face milling. maybe use a 2d adaptive to mill the top off and then skim with the face mill. I may try that. I think this is a good way to show in detail what to look out for when doing these. The 7M is a good puzzle to figure out
