D.O.C. in a facing operation

[Guffie]

I run into a very strange thing with a simple facing job!

 

I have a contour around my part 580x385mm, from which I choose to make a facing operation with a Ø100 facemill.. I have to remove 5mm on the face, so I choose 2mm i d.o.c.! Then it generates toolpath fine, except it takes it all in 1 step! I try to go back and I can see that D.O.C. is deactivated, so I turn it on again, regenerate, but still only 1 cut... I shut down mastercam, create new facepath, same again and again...

 

I'm still stucked on X4, just for info... Anyone who have run into this problem?

 

Thanks in advance!

Make sure your Top of stock reflects the stock up there.

 

I've seen people set TOS to 0 and get 1 pass only

I have retract on 10mm, feed plane = 7mm, toc = 5mm og dept = 0, all values absolute...

 

I have tried to create a total new file, just with the contour and tried as well.. Same situation... When I go back in parameters and choose dept of cut = 2 it doesn't even mark the operation dirty...

Are you running X4 MU3?

 

It seems to me I remember a bug, which version I forget where DOC in some settings didn't work, you had to have a couple of ops to get it

 

MU3 should be clean of that though IIRC

I have attached the file here:

FACE TEST.MCX

Nope... Just X4, no MU..

Hmmmm

 

 

[Guffie]

But I guess you're running MU3 or?

Actually, I was not for some reason, if you look at my screen cap, X4.

 

I don't use it and didn't even realize I still had it installed
