haas 5 axis profile test

[dforsythe]

We are doing some testing on our haas VF-6’s to try and get a better surface finish during 5 axis profiling paths. If anyone has some free time and would like to program a path on the inside and outside profiles of this part (baby blue area’s) it would be greatly appreciated. I have read quite a few post on here and some of the recommendations for reducing the spline / facet look seems to vary greatly. For the most part the parts are fine for what we do, just looking for some continuous improvement.
