Angular depth

[ruger2]

Hi guys,

I am running Ver. 9.1. I am trying to figure out how to cut a circular tool path on a .625" diameter with a .125" ballnose endmill. In Z one end is Z0 and 180 degrees from there Z is -.190". As the tool returns following the .625" diameter circle it returns to Z0. In other words the endmill starts at a Z0 point on a .625" diameter....travels on the circle at an angle 180 degrees down to a depth of -.190". Then retuns on the circle back up the angle to Z0.

 

I hope this is clear.

 

Thanks in advance.

Break circle at 180° if it isn't already.

Write contour at Z0.

Open Chain Manager.

Right click on chain.

Select Change at point.

Change depths accordingly.

That's exactly what I am looking....Thank you

for yor help. I couldn't figure that one out. I have cut on an angle before....but not on a circle. Thanks again.
