X3 problem

[Tony Tran]

Hi guys,

 

I am freaking out with X3. There are a lot of problem when I changed to use X3 from X2. A big problem is verification always get me a wrong depth like the shown picture below even though I enter/select the right depth value. As the shown picture, the depth should be on the top of yellow surface. However, it goes under that and I don't know what wrong. And when I generate NC file and verify it in Vericut, everything is perfect.

 

Is there anybody here get same as my problem? I don't want to switch X3 and Vericut anytime I got the same problem till I finish the whole program.

 

 

Thanks,

My guess...

Thats a bull nose endmill and you are comping to the center, not the tip

I bet its comp to center as well. When I installed X3 it changed the default to center instead of tip on my computer.

[Tony Tran]

Yes, both of you are right. It was my bad and I am sorry for bothering you guys.

 

Good day,

I noticed the same thing when upgrading to MU1, all milling paths changed from tip comp to center, glad to hear I'm not the only one who had this problem.
