wear comp with high feed

[Thoob]

Is there a way to make the high feed option work with wear compensation? On my outside contour, I am using a feed mill but I want to use the high feed option to slow the cutter on the 90 deg corners. It works fine when i don't select wear compensation. If I select wear comp, it outputs one feed only.

Wow, I am shocked to see no one has replied. Most cases someone has an answer for me before I even finish typing the question. lol. Seriously though, apparently its something that has been overlooked. Even in X5, you can't use it with wear compensation. I find it quite amusing sometimes how such simple stuff gets left out in this expensive piece of work software.

Do you have any more information that you can give? I just ran a contour with wear comp on and it slowed the feed rates. This is in X5.

 

Are you using the finish only? rough and finish? what shape is the contour?

I have X4. The tech rep I called had X5 and he said it didn't work as well.

I have it on roughing and finishing. The finishing one will not highlight and let me pick it. I am also using a contour ramp. Everything works perfect as it should when i don't use comp. As soon as I use comp, it doesn't work.

I am also using a contour ramp.

 

It has been while for me using mastercam and need to learn a bunch, but couldn't ramping the contour cause no slowdown in feedrate at the corners?

Nah, as mentioned, it works fine when wear comp is not applied. Once I activate wear, it stops using high feed option. Funny I know this post is old but i had just ran into this again so I searched the forum and came across one of my old posts. lol. Still no information yet eh fellas?
