Stock collision while removing stock - should I ignore?


Metals and materials

Recommended Posts

So in a dynamic OptiRoughing, to remove stock from inside the part, while removing the stock, the endmill is colliding with stock! (In mastercam verification), which anyways have to be removed (as it is stock). Should I just ignore that?

I have 0.2362" ball endmill with flute length of .75 and I am using about .36 inches of flute length. with radial stepover of 20% as it is 4 flute. My plunge parameter is helix.

are the collisions happening on flat surfaces?

do you have micro lift enabled?

a file was posted here a couple of months ago with collisions using dynamic mill and a ball endmill

what was happening was that the ball endmill was leaving cusps on horizontal surfaces

and the endmill was rapiding through the crests of the cusps during backfeed motion

enabling microlift with a lift value higher than the cusps, eliminated this issue.
