Remachining bug?

[left coast lefty]

When I set Max Rough Step to .011 in Depth cuts, it works fine. When I change it to .010 or less, it crashes. I am using a .125 dia. extended shank EM on a 1.5" deep pocket. I know there are issues with pocket remachining, so I'm using contour. Any ideas?

Can you put the file up on the FTP server?

It's got something to do with the "all previous operations". I'm roughing with a 3/8, then coping the corners with a 3/16 before the 1/8. When I import the 3 operations to a new program, it works fine. There are 40 or so operations before these. No big deal. Not sure how to upload to the FTP with Firefox.

Instead of using "all previous operations" maybe try using stock model.

Thanks for the help. Not sure how to use stock model on this. All previous ops, the previous op, and roughing tool dia. are the only options I see.

Are you using version 6? Stock model is a new feature, under the Toolpaths dropdown. You can define a starting stock shape by dimensions or by selecting a solid, then apply toolpaths, and the stock model will update just as if it were run through Verify. You can then use this stock model for the newer, high-speed style, remachining ops, or as initial stock for a future stock model op.

Yes, I have version 6. I don't really need that small of a step anyway. I could use stock model, but I just wanted to go old school on this one. Quick and easy. When introduced the stock model it took about 3 minutes to regenerate, and I don't have a lot of patience at the moment.

 

As far as the FTP, will it work with Firefox? I dumped everything IE.

Don't know. I'm in Chrome.
