The Mill Facing Wizard Posting Settings
Introduction
The fourth step of the Milling Facing Wizard is to define a few posting parameters for the feature. This includes the work offset number, indexing output, and a few tolerance settings for the output program code. For Mill Turn jobs, the posting mode and submachine settings also display.
