Dynamic toolpaths with rapids

[Hertz]

Hey guys, was wondering if there are ways to have the dynamic toolpaths use a rapid instead of a back feedrate when rapid would be faster or switch between both depending on quicker path. The reason I'm asking is because the mill I have slows quite a bit on the corners when back feedrate is on. Example I have a back feedrate of 1000 on the machine but of course it can't do that around a corner so it slows down to 150 as it goes around. The radius its going around is about 2". So rapiding up and over would be quicker as its just a linear move vs multiple small moves or arcs.

Try with settings something like this...set a fairly short distance, and set to retract when exceeding that distance

 

 

 

I suspect in the long run you are going to find this is actually slower

you moght want to try turning the filter on for XY motion

these toolpaths output a million point to point moves.

Some machines run better if you filter them to arcs

Crazy I tell you.

 

95% Arc on every HST toolpath I do. Without I can see increases of 20% on the run time.

mine outputs alot of point to point code but the tolerance on hi-cut on the machine is fairly loose so it doesn't slow down very much.

Ok guys that's awesome. Thanks for the replies.
