Simple Rotary Toolpath

[Seymca]

I am new to rotary axis and need some advice on how to make 3 simple grooves on the radius of a part. I tried axis sustitution and my post seems to output about the right cordinates, but the feedrates keep increasing with every line of code. Is there a better way to do this than a flat contour? I have the part drawn with the grooves in it in a Solidworks/IGES file but all the toolpaths want to use a ball mill. I am running Mazatrol Fusion 640 with a slightly tweaked generic Mazak post and Version 9.1 (X is ordered but not here yet).Any advice??

Try this on line 211 about:

 

use_frinv : 0 #Use Inverse Time Feedrates in 4 Axis, (0 = no, 1 = yes)

 

HTH!

Thanks for the input, but I went ahead and sent it off to the post expert at my reseller, he said he could get it going.
