Dynamic Facing Issue

[Bridgeportboy]

I have noticed that the Dynamic Facing toolpath ignores the retract value and uses the clearance plane value

for all rapid moves, even when "Use clearance at the start and end only" box is checked.

I've tried the other facing techniques, and they respect the retract value and use it.

 

Actually, it is the facing toolpath using dynamic motion.

 

See piccys below.

Anyone care to prove this out or let me know what i'm doing wrong?

This is my guess why.. Minimal entries and exits/ smooth tool motion that mastercam manages internally .

i dont think you're doing anything wrong

I tried it as well and it does the same thing to me only on dynamic facing

incremental retracts seems to be using the clearance plane value instead of the retract value

 

if you want the incremental retracts on a dynamic facing style paths ive used a regular 2d core mill just picking one chain, and if u do set the min toolpath radius to 2.5% and zero stock to leave on walls, seems to work just as well for me

SO has anyone sent it into QC?

 

Anyone?

This is still an issue in X7 MU1.
