"One question, from someone who hasn't used CAM. The CAM package would provide a way to specify the number of tool passes, to reach the final depth of a machining operation?"
I recently went away from redundant gcode lines with the added tool paths for each z by passing a file with the xy cut to a subroutine that parsed through the z depths. I pass to the subroutine; filename, final z, and z increment. This means I generate more files with the single toolpath, but it is infintely more readable to me.
