Help w/Roughing CHook Helix's

[MasterNick]

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to have mastercam rough cut a CHook THelix.

Having the same toolpath, and using a different HO in the Mill, is the easiest option I can think of. Although I'm pretty new to programming, and relatively new to Mastercam. Changing the 'Stock to leave' and 'Depth' in the parameters doesn't seem to work. And designing other helix's for each rough cut, just seems like too much work.

Maybe there isn't an option, but it would be great to know.

This is also for a rotary head on a Haas CNC Vertical Milling Center.

And if you haven't guessed it already, I'm new to this forum, and the potential of it making me better at mastercam is awesome. I'm looking forward to it.

Changing the 'Stock to leave' entry should work. If you can send the MC8 file to me at [email protected] , then I can take a look at your settings. If changing the 'Stock to leave' entry does not work, then that is a bug, which should be reported to CNC Software.
