RADII @ CUT-OFF

[taylor500s]

I can't seem to do a cut off with a radii on the corner...it will do a chamfer but not a radius???

any ideas ?

[Charlie Pierson]

Treat the cutoff as a finish toolpath ????

If gives you the option to put a chamfer or a radius.....the dang thing just doesn't work !

I have found the cut off cycle to be not very user friendly. Making a straight cut down, not so bad but to add a corner chamfer takes a lot of messing around.

 

What I have found that usually works is to make the cut off boundy flat (straight line) ONLY! Do not chain in the radius you have drawn. If you need to, draw a new line so the cut off boundy begins right at the OD of the part then add the rad/cmfr within cut off.

I don't usually have any problem with this in X2.

 

I don't draw the back radius, I turn off roll cutter around corners and I draw the part off line (back end of the part)

 

What version are you using and what is going wrong?
