x7 arc filter questions

[Rocketmachinist]

I never really learned too much about the ins and outs of arc filter. I would usually use stuff like 1 to 1 or less calculation time.

 

It looks like Mastercam reverted back to the older versions and I'm not entirely sure about how it is properly used. Can anyone give me a quick run down about what I should expect by changing values.

Hi,

Click on the help button in the Arc/Filter tab.

You can see there sufficient information about using this option.

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Michael.

Colin put a good description of the arc filter here:

Too bad the new arc filter in X7 switches to 95% cut tolerance and 5% filter tolerance when you turn it off/on regardless of the default settings.

This is opposite to the 2:1 ratio that has always been recommended.
