X4 MU3 BUG

[Grievous]

Operation type: Helix Bore

Tool: 1/4" Flat EM

Geometry : 2 circles dia 20

Rough Pitch=1 etc etc…

---now the problems -----

Under Linking param:

- Clearance=30(abs) +"Use clearance only at start..." button checked

- Retract = 5(abs)

- Feed plane =1(inc)

- Top of stock =0(abs)

- Depth= -10(abs)

Result ...the tool after finishing first dia will not retract to 5 , but will go to 30 and after finishing the 2-nd dia will retract only at 5.

Just give’ it a try and see what's happening

I just wrote a program doing the the very same thing ( 2 holes - 1.00" dia. - .875" deep - 2" apart) and until I read this I didn't notice anything strange. I went back and looked a little closer and noticed my tool was only using clearance and not retract. I played around with it a little and kept getting the same results. I figured " It ain't crashing.....i'm running it"

It's ok, but imagine... you machine some holes at a lower level let's say -100 (with clereance at +10abs and retract setted at -95 abs ) and then move to a higher plane at let's say 0 ...after you finish machining at -100 level the tool will not retract first in z at +10

and then in xy to new position....it will go from -95 to the new pos in xyz simultaneous movement witch can be very dangereous if you have a part like than..and maybe a big crash.
