1. Show the 1st Gouge set.

2. Duplicate the procedure and edit it. Open the dialog and click the Gouge Check tab.

3. Unmark the tool tip in the 1st check group.

   • Set the Max. tilt angle to 90

4. Mark the 2nd check group

   • Set the Strategy to Retract Tool / Along Tool Axis.

   • Set Stock to leave to 0.5 mm

   • Set Tolerance to 0.05

   

5. Unmark the Check Gouge Between Positions check box (under the Advanced option).
   
   This setting stops the tool retracting along its axis whenever a gouge is detected, within 0.5 mm of the check surfaces. The tool remains retracted until a point where there is no longer a gouge.
