Final Finish Pass Option Question - Depth Cut and Multipass Combined?

[huskermcdoogle]

Guys,

 

Is there currently a way to have the final depth of cut finish pass and the final Multi Pass finish pass be done at the same time without creating a new contour operation. Currently the only way that it seems to output is the final depth cut then it outputs the final Multi Pass. I know this seems elementary, but I hardly ever write a program that I don't end up at least once having to create a separate finishing routine. Same deal with speeds and feeds for finish passes.

 

Or should this become an enhancement request?

I always run a separate operation just so I can change my feeds and speed properly for the amount of material I am removing now and the finish I want. How about you select final pass on final depth ?

How about you select final pass on final depth ?

 

You still get an "Extra" Finish Pass. One for Axial and one for Radial.

As far as I know there is no way to do this .

Yeah, seems like you should be able to combine the two as one finish pass, but I haven't been able to figure out how, either. Only way is another operation, which is fine for one timey. but doing it over and over through dozens of operations suks! I've always wondered why it works this way. Seems to me there should be a check box for "final depth & final pass at same time".

This same request has been brought up at least once a year since I have been a member here. About time it had some attention I think.
