T-SLOT MILLING OF UNDERCUT BY SURFACE ROUGH CONTOUR

[beginner1977]

Hi everyone,

 

I need some help to implement a rough operation on undercut by surface contour feature (at least I think that is the

 

right feature to be used).

 

The T-slot mill has a cutting diameter of 80mm, a flute length of 4mm and a shank diameter of 25mm.

 

The undercut has obtained by a 3D-sweeping of a cross section along a 3D off-plane path.

 

I am attaching an image of undercut design and relative mcx file.

 

In the level 5 there is the geometry of containment profile.

 

The output is somewhat uneven and blurred.

 

Where am I wrong?

 

Any suggestion or tip is welcome.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

have you tried surface finish flowline?

[Jayson Kramer]

have you done a search we just went thru this. if you do not find let us know and we will look tommorow.

I haven't found any like.

 

The undercut in case is 3D-swept.

 

Any further help?

Flowline stabs that part. The width is not constant, it tapers from one end to the other significantly. Looks like a a multi axis path is required here.
