Roll Die vs.. Swarf 5axis

[s0l0seven]

Hay guys,

I am going through the 5 axis tutorials and tutorial 4 gives me an option of using roll die or swarf 5 axis. These seem like the exact same thing. Can yens tell me the differences? (I read the book but it seams the same definition to me)

Swarf 5 Axis gives you more options. That's the difference in a nutshell.

Both have the tool oriented parallel to the walls. Roldie allows simultaneous four axis movements while swarf can generate 4 or 5 axis movements.

For Swarf you can specify a tip control, you can define the walls using surfaces or two chains, plus in parameters you can set an entry /exit.

Roldie can be used to machine sharp inside corners; the tool will automatically ramp up inside the sharp corners.

Hope it helps.
