The 2.5D-tutorial refreshed

The sharp eyed noticed that the machining time in the 2.5D-tutorial example was very long, and I would say it's not a realistic example either for a pro workshop. This is how you the pocketing would be done to speed up the tempo. Of course it's a matter of tool changes. In an industrial environment that's not a problem though.

First of, there's a roughing made with a bigger end mill, leaving a tiny bit of material.

Then we go fine pocketing with the small mill, getting better corners and vertical finish.

The machining time is now less than half with a simple change in the milling strategy.
