Swarf this!

[wildcat99]

How would you Swarf cut this part? (SWARFTEST.MC8 is on the FTP site.)

This file represents an area of a molded part that will be trimmed on our Quintax 5-Axis router. The bottom surface will be cut with the side of the tool and the tip needs to be .25" from the outside edge.

Once again I can sort of make this work with a Curve 5-Axis. It doesn't look very smooth at the corner, and it takes 3 separate paths to do this. But it gives you an idea of what I'm after.

I would like to be able to do this without adding extra geometry and without manually editing the g-code if possible. I learned a lot from my last post, but can't seem to apply it to our actual parts.

BTW: We have Mill 8.1.1 and I believe all the current patches, C-hooks are in place.

Thanks for your help.
