Waterline leadin question...

[bhayden10]

I am making a aluminum "box" 3" deep and am using the waterline pass to machine the inside and outside at the same time. I made one finish pass on the inside floor, but it wants to rapid in along one wall and then leadin say in the x direction against the wall. All the leadin values seem to only effect the "Z" direction. I can use a 2d contour pass if I have to but am trying to learn these high speed passes and I wonder if I (and my reseller) are missing an easy fix here. I did the change at point and did easily fix the rapid move but don't like the leadin either.

Horizontal arc entry is what I use. Did you try adjusting this value?

David,

Yes i couldn't see that it changed it at all. I just tried it again and changed the horizontal exit and it changed it, but the entry won't work. It is also coming in at a place I don't want, is there a way to change this?

If you want to keep it out of certain areas you can create surfaces to block the area off,

Would it be possible to put the file on the FTP site?

I put it in the mcx2 folder, it is connector brkt for ftp file. There is only one toolpath in it. The horizontal leadin works around the 2 posts, but not the first perimeter pass. Thanks for your help.

Just added an aproximate start point and looks good to me. Put this file back on the FTP site.
