LATHE MATERIAL

[gary adams]

My material is set for different values finishing to roughing(feed).When I select a finishing path and calculate for material I get the roughing feed setting.What am I missing?

1 You would have to set the correct material type in the setup. Doing the way you have described would mean you would have to have the finishing toolpaths and the roughing toolpath in two different machine groups with the correct material selected for both machine group.

 

2 In the tool settings "Feed calculation" From material must be set

Thankyou I wrongly assumed that when I calculated for material it gave the same result as setting it in group set up.Whilst I have your attention when are the slow cutting options in the material dialogue applied.
