Category 	Item 	Description 	Date 	Notes
Setup 	Stock specificaions 	Got stock height wrong.It is 95.9 not 
88.9.Added 7mm to Z location so bottom of block is -92mm. 	8/27/2016 	
Web interface 	Datum surfaces 	How do you see the datum surfaces B, D, 
E, G during setup 1?It will help to see how to rotate the part for setup 
2. 	8/27/2016 	See STEP-NC Machine
NC program 	Small cutter for sides 	Why do we use the 10mm cutter 
instead of the 16mm for surfacing the sides during setup 1? 	8/27/2016 	
NC program 	Climb cutting 	Still appears to be conventional milling on 
sides during setup 1. 	8/27/2016 	
NC program 	Aggressive cut top 	Seems like setup 1, pass 1 has a more 
aggressive cut when surfacing the top.Could be just our imagination. 
8/27/2016 	
NC program 	Coolant 	Coolant on code was for flood.Would like to use 
thru-tool coolant. 	8/27/2016

Video 	Different positions 	Tried different locations of video but still 
gets sprayed heavily. 	8/27/2016 	
NC program 	Varying step amount during surfacing 	Why is third pass step 
is greater than second step? 	8/27/2016 	See STEP-NC Machine
