Peel Mill vs Dynamic Peel Mill

[Hertz]

Good morning. 

I am using a Peel Mill toolpath for a slot and everything looks good, except it's leaving .06 per side even though I'm telling it to only leave .01

If I use Dynamic Peel Mill, it leaves ,01 as selected.

What's the difference between the two?

Also, in the arc filter settings, what numbers affect the amount of code the most? I unfortunately have a very small amount of memory in our mill, so I'd like to cut the code down as much as possible. When I'm using these type of toolpaths, I'm not concerned about tolerances as I will always leave at least .01 per side for finishing.

Thanks.

I've been working with Peel this morning.

Can't understand why yours is leaving more on a face when using the two different options though? Mine appears fine.

The filtering as I see it will only make the dynamic peel program smaller. If limited to memory space I'd use the standard Peel.

My filtering settings are (metric) as pictured, usually only for fine finishing of surfaces, but as said above, this does give smaller programs regarding any dynamic milling choices. These settings really lose the facets that you can get with surfacing parts.

HTH Andy.

I reached out to support and they gave me this reason.

"The problem with the Peel Mill toolpath is the cutting style. The peel cutting style requires that the minimum toolpath radius be equal to or greater then the stepover. This is due to the trochoidal motion it is trying to make. It looks like this is preventing the tool from cutting to the desired edge. You would need to set the the toolpath stepover to a small amount and the radius to match to get the tool to the desired edge. . Changing the cut style to dynamic is probably the better option. This gives a better motion and is not restricted by the toolpath radius. "
