HEX SHAPE DYNAMIC MILLING

[kccadcam]

Trying to figure the best way to do this:

Solid stock,, drill a 1.5 hole thru, then want to dynamic mill the hex shape.

All the dynamics want to go outside to in,,, I can get 2D dynamic Area Mill to work with

a single chain,, but then it cuts air from the center,,, If I add a second chain in the center to account

for the thru hole, it makes a crazy path that takes too long.

what am I missing??

How about HST Dynamic rest Mill?? You only need to select your Hex Geo and tell it to read stock from your previous drilling op. Works pretty good here.

Never mind,,, got it....

Dynamic rest mill using previous drill op works fine.........

Yeah i got thinking last night why can't we prioritize chains so we can cut inside out, drawing the stock border (casting) , then again maybe another toolpath selection would be the best way...
