9 | 9 | Calculate the y axis offset for your stock by taking the width of the part in mm, dividing by 2 and then subtracting at least 3mm.\ |
10 | 10 | So for a 25mm wide part you would get 25mm/2 = 12.5 ; 12.5 - 2 = 9.5mm which for simplicity I will round down to 9.\ |
11 | | -In the future I will refer to this value as **{Y offset}** and use the example of 9mm\ |
