Cutting a radius with corner endmill (I'm a beginner)

[sjanson13]

Hello,

I am still new to figuring out MasterCam and how to use the proper tools with the proper tool paths.

 

I essentiall have a washer that has a 116mm OD; 90 mm ID; and is 12.7mm tall. I am trying to use a corner end mill to put a radius on the top side of the washer. I have have drawn the washer in Mastercam but have left if looking like a washer, meaning I did include the radius feature in the drawing.

 

I can not seem to find a toolpath and surface/containment selection that will allow me to cut the ID and OD to create the radius.

 

I am using X3.

 

Not sure what other information is needed to be helpful. Let me know and I will post.

Not sure if I am reading this correctly or not...if you have a cutter with the correct rad on it just contour the ID and OD. If you do not have a rad cutter and you want to put the rad on with another end mill (ball) you will need to create a rad on your solid or surface and machine from them.

 

I Use as many 2d toolpaths as possible when programing.

 

If you have a screen shot of your drawing post it and you will get more guys responding.
