Three new videos up! A rambling finish to the WCD, and then two short videos; one on symmetry/mirrors and one on pocketing.

I find the power trim tool to be pretty effective at turning things into non-overlaping closed contours. I probably would have used it on the gearbox, but doesn't look like it would have done much good on the gusset.

Oh boy. You're not going to like the pocketing video that just finished uploading...

I agree with your point, and I'm a bit sloppy in that regard but generally do trim to make things clean (except in the pocketing example).

Thanks for the tip on the gears, I was doing PD circles + .003 and then also doing the OD (as I like seeing the clearances) as a radial dimension off the PD, but I kind of got sick of drawing all that and it was visually clunky.
