2d milling bad cuts

[jeff]

Just recently I have had problems with the multiple passes and the lead in/out.

comp set to control,mult passes cutting 2 finish passes and the lead in/out set to enter/exit on final pass.

The geometry is just a simple chain,nothing that I haven't done a million times before,but the problem is when it comes to the point for the second pass,the cutter wants to dive into the part on x/y and then out to what I am guessing the lead in position for the next pass.

The only way for me to stop this is to have ot lead in/out on every pass.

Oh yeah,keep tool down is checked also.

Anyone else experience this?

thats the work around I use also. there seems to be an ignorant side to toolpaths when it comes to comp in control same with time estimets in backplot. im 99.9% comp in control programming and I dont know why the system cant just use the tool dia in the library to calc everything as it does with comp in computer. anyone know the answers to this?

 

Wheres the magic 8 ball ?

things . have agood day.4 hours till fishing time
