2D High Speed Toolpath - Blend Mill

[Mark H]

Using 2D HST Blend Mill (X6 MU1) and trying to get tapered walls on the the depth cuts. The reason is so the shank of the tool wont rub once it goes deeper than the flute length. Selected tapered walls and put in 1 degree, but it doesn't appear to be working for me... any tips?

 

FYI - comp direction set to left, and cutting "along" the chain.

You really need to use a 3D blend for that kind of cut.

 

AFAIK, 2D Blend cannot do what you're asking

Thanks for your reply... I was hoping for a quick little 2D toolpath to get the machine going. Its odd that there is an option for "tapered wall" that doesn't do anything when selected.
