Trochoidial Machining

[Sandybar]

This is my first post on this forum. So here goes.

 

I'm tring out the new feature Trochidial Machining offer in version 9.0 I've encountered a situation on a suface machined part that when a full width cut is in operation it squeals like a bleeding pig. I would like to be able to trocoidal Machine this feature when involving a full with cut.

 

I have little sucess in dealing with this feature to machining trochiodial cuts when encountering full with cuts. An I expecting to much or just not doing it right?

I've had good experiences with trochoidal cuts. Look at the parameters carefully and make sure you are setting them correctly. It seems to work best with spiral out toolpaths.

James and Crew,

 

It has been my experience that Stuck Pigs will Bleed! (It all depends what you stick him with...)

Well, I tried the inside to outside toolpath and it worked great. Charles your input was on target and now no more "bleeding stuck pigs"
