Stock removal

Before you can machine the contour, you must enter the contour.
For stock removal, ShopTurn can start from a blank that is defined as
a cylinder, an allowance on the finished-part contour or any
unmachined-part contour. You must define an unmachined-part
contour as a separate closed contour in advance of the finished-part
contour.
If the blank and finished-part contours do not intersect, ShopTurn
defines the boundary between blank and finished part.
If the angle between the straight line and the Z axis is greater than 1°,
the boundary is placed at the top and if the angle is less than or equal
to 1°, the boundary is placed at the side.
