lead in out does not work X4 MU3

[diggityds]

Lead in and out moves don't work when set to tanget on a contour move. Wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. I have been using the same movement for 10 years so I checked all geometries and settings a few dozen times.

No problem here.

a coworker had an issue on the leadin/out on an inside contour of a circle. With gouge check on, there wasn't a leadin/out. With gouge check on and infinite look ahead off, there was a lead in but not lead out. With gouge check off there was a leadin/out, and no gouge. So he used circlemill instead.

Is your lead in/out too large for your contour? Try changing the size.

 

I have gouge check and infinite look ahead on without a problem.

I had a problem with MU2 doing a 3D chamfer.

No, it wasn't even close to being a gouge. 2" hole, 1/2 em, small lead, cutter comp set to computer. That was the only operation that was a problem.

Make sure your sweep angle isnt set to "0".

 

 

PEACE

No lead in and out issues here. Gouge check is unchecked never tried using it yet. I'm not seeing this infinite look ahead where do I find that?

[BenK]

On the cut parameters page.

yeah it was the damn sweep angle set to 0. I have all my toolpath defaulted to certain settings i haven't changed in many years, we merged companies and i'm working with a second programmer with different defaults and posts.
