Chaining order for Pocket-Facing


FP1

Recommended Posts

When using a pocket-face operation with a rectangular outer boundary at Z-.250 and two circlular bosses drawn at Z0 which order do you guys chain these? Boundary first and then the bosses? or Bosses first and then the outer boundary?

It seems to work both ways. Just curious what most of us do.

I have always done the outer boundary first and then the two bosses and it has always worked fine for me. This is how it was done on another software I used to work with so I just kept doing it that way. I noticed that if you use the FBM feature it will use the new 2D HST Core mill cycle and it chains the bosses first and then the outer boundary. If it works both ways does it matter? headscratch.gif
