pockets

[Marty A]

i'm milling an open pocket with a 1.5 button cutter that has a .236 rad inserts. the problem is the pocket has a .380 rad on the bottom.what would be the best way to mill this pocket and leave stock for the .380 rad. i also have to go back and finish the walls.

I know of two ways that I would do it. You can leave more on the walls to accomodate a larger radius finish tool. or on both the wall and the bottom then finish with the.380 tool. where the problem comes in is what kind of material you are cutting will depend on how much you want to leave for finish passes. It may be you want to get a different rougher. Hope this helps.

cut two pockets 1st pocket keep your z stock at +.38 ,second pocket start depth .38 off bottom chang your z stock to what your going to leave to finisg and change xy stock to plus .380.Only a suggestion for a quick fix without creating any new boundries :)Man my spelling today is real bad I already edited once.

Simlar to Mold's response, but 1st pocket,walls, stay .144 from floor (.380-.236). Second pocket, floors, stay .144 in xy. Of course add whatever stock you desire to these figures. This will leave less material at Rad for finish tool.

WOW!! this is #200 are animated GIF's allowed??

Motty is there any chance that this is a surface file or a solid file?

 

If so I have a easy fix.

Pres,

 

Yes they are.

James,

 

Since animated Gif's are allowed, what do you think about putting a little spin on that beanie?

Corey,

 

Were still awaiting your choice for an Avatar.

TheePres is climbing all over his choices, and yet, you are about 50 posts past due.

 

I am considering Eric Cartman in full dress when he did the German sausage episode ~ but alas, I have another 50 or 60 posts to go.
