2D Dynamic Core MIll quesiton

[jeff]

When the toolpath is returning for another cut, and is using the back feedrate,what setting determines the distance that the cutter is from the part since there is no rapid retract.

Or is there?

[Chris Rizzo]

Yeah seen this asked a few times, but afaik there is no user control. Dave C. from cnc is the guy who would know how that is determined. Matter of fact I'm curious as well.

[jeff]

The only thing that looks to control this is if you make the toolpath radius extremely large.

But then it becomes inefficient.

I only ask because if I have my back feedrate set too high, then the cutter will clip the corners of the part when it's returning for another cut... since I don't have a high speed machine it won't make corners very accurately at 400+ IPM
