7.4 Stock to leave
The Stock to leave parameter describes the stock to be left on the finishing surfaces. This parameter
can also be negative, e.g. for cutting electrodes.
For example, if this value is set to 0.2 units, then the tool will not come closer than 0.2 units to the
surface. Therefore, after the machining, there will be remaining stock on the surface of about 0.2
units.
