I am trying to make a piece out of MDF that has allot of small details and I keep having trouble with my clearing pass breaking off some of that detail. Any suggestions for things that I can do to help prevent this? (Besides removing the fine details). I am using partworks to make the tool paths and these are pocketing paths. Note that for the clearing pass I am using a 1/2 diameter 2 edge straight cutter.
I thought about doing the finishing pass first so the large cutter doesn't get that close to those pieces however I am trying to use a 1/8" downcut on my finishing to minimize edge burs and I dont want to plunge with that.
Attached is an image of the problem. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
