VTL Boring

[rrichard]

    I need to bore an 18" ID with under cut shapes in a VTL using a horizontal stick tool holder to bore the ID. I have my stock set up, but I don't have the option to  use the stock boundaries?

It is generating a tool path that looks like it will work, but with bunch of alarms crashing into stock.

 

How to make a stick tool in a bore recognize stock updates? 

 

Thank you for any help

Check your lead in directions and how far your rapid distance away is....

 

Those are 2 of the more common issues that I have seen along the way

Can you post a file? It could be a dozen different things...

I have lead-ins and lead outs  set @.120", I think my biggest problem is my recognize stock boundary in the tool path manager is shaded out?

Thought I had replied, but the problem was my tool was setup on a left-hand turret, changed to right hand all good

 

Thanks everyone

dang I'm at home so I can't open that file. I programmed a vtl for and know it can be as simple as the way the tool defined and if its a right or left tool and what side of spindle it is cutting on.  can't open the file so I'm shooting in the dark.
