Hi All,

Any suggestions on creating a Toolpath for this ? I have tried several But not getting the result I would Like.

This is a cast Part and I am only Facing The Outer boundaries on top and around the circular Boss at a depth of perhaps .050

I'm using a 1/2" flat endmill to avoid the odd shaped Boss .

Thanks Dave

Use create > surface > fill hole and pick the solid surface with the holes.  You can also us flat boundary by chaining the outside of your groove and trimming it with the inside chain.

 

Try using surface highspeed toolpath horizontal area selecting everything and using z limit to only machine the plane you want.

You can stock on walls and then just use a 2d contour to size the od of the boss. I would use a few thou of ramp on my arch in and stay off z a few tenths for a better surface finish.

 

Doesn't matter the order.  HTH
