Machining time estimation run too far.

Recommended Posts

Hi, I had a case that i cannot solve even until now. The time estimated in Mastercam X6 run too far from the original.(about 6 hours longer than real machining time). He's using contour toolpath for all of his 6 toolpaths for this project. As far as i know, if drilling/bore toolpath, it would make a large time estimation differences rather than real machining time. But in this case, he only use 6 contour toolpaths but the estimation time has 6 hours differences from real maching time. Can someone help me with this?

^^^^ +100000000000000^^^^^^^^   most of the time when doing any of the tool settings or tool path settings for the first time they are off by a lot  but one you set them they should be were you leave them until they change  or get buggy. Also check your material settings and see if the tool is going by default tool speeds or materials speeds.
