3-D ROUGHING CYCLE

[burns]

hi im a first time user so please bear with me

i am a technical teacher at a local career center for 11th and 12th graders and i want to add 3-d masterCAM to my class agenda.

i have a piece in the ftp site named flagtop.mc9 it is just the piece within its stock. i can run a finish pass on the piece but i want to run a roughing pass first. i have loaded the finishing passes on the ftp site also it is called flagtopfinish.mc9. when i use the same parameters to try to rough it it simply will not run nor will it verify. when doing the roughing i only want to take .025 off for my depths. just to be safe with a student running it. also in the finishing one it is doing some of the holes and i dont want to do that but just go over them with the rest of the piece so if you help me with that i would also be thankful for that too

thanx

Hi burns.

Check the same folder you placed flagtopfinish.mc9 there is a file

flagtopfinish-b.mc9. that has roughing with your same tools.
