Thread mill

Can I set thread mill toolpath at multiaxis mode?

No, you can not.

 

But you can mill at many points around an axis if that is what you need to do. You can create a new T-plane at you rotation angles or depending on your geometry, chain one of them and use transform rotate.

 

If you can place an example on the FTP someone can take a look at and let you know what you would need to do, if you are still stuck.

Jacob,

 

Here's some information if you are having problems connecting

Well yes you can. I do it using C-plane to set my plane. I then do anything in 5 axis I do in 3 axis. It is called 3+2 milling and Mastercam IMHO kick but in this very well. I have done it with a angle head as well not very easy but it can be done as well. If you need an example I see what I can dig up or make for you.

 

John's way is pretty much accomplishing the same thing just a different apporach.

Wow, learn something new everyday.

 

Thanks for pointing that out Ron.
