Hardmilling, trochoidal cutting

Recommended Posts

I have a straight wall that I need to trochoidal cut, but It apears that this is not doable yet in either X or V9. To try to get around this I have been attempting to highspeed pocket a rectangle, where I would be able to save the backplot as geo and then trim it to do a contour. The problem that I am having is that the high speed pocket routine seems to only want to trochoidal in a conventional method as opposed to climb milling. I am thinking that climb would be better suited to milling this stuff so I am trying to find a way to force climb milling while in a trochoidal move. Anyone else tried to do this? I am trying to do this because I have to machine a one-sided dovetail in a piece of 52RC A8, and the cutter is going to have to be small. This is a production job, so if a work-around is outthere I would love to hear about it. Thanks for your help
