Re: VERY NEW USER

Are the collisions reported as "Holder" collisions?  If so, I was having this problem because of a tolerance setting, and this fixed it for me:

>File >Properties> Tolerance Tab >Model Tolerance - mine was set too high: .05, changed to .005 to correct.

As far as clearance angles, I have no Idea if that can be done.

Re: VERY NEW USER

Another setting that I just learned about that might help:
>Setup >Machine >Settings > Ignore Collision between cutter and stock > All Tools
