Dynamic contour and stock (no chip thinnig?)

[SlaveCam]

Hello again and thank you for your help earlier.

 

Is it possible to use a custom stock (either the stock in stock setup or the stock created by stock operation) to define the stock for a dynamic contour so that the toolpath would be optimized to utilize radial chip thinning and adjust feed according to the stock being machined?

 

Example: Create a rectangular stock and a profile toolpath around it. The tool removes material 10% of the tool diameter from the left side and 50% of the tool diameter from the right side. The tool would go faster when machining the left side.

you would want to re process existing MC operation with the high feed function.

 

i haven't used it in about 10 years

I use high feed all the time.I do think it could be a little more user friendly though.

I usually use the Stock Model Operation after I have done some ops, like facing. I then use Dynamic opti rough and set rest material to "one other op" and select the stock model op.

So that's what the highfeed button was all about! Damn. Too bad it isn't an operation, I'm not a big fan of finalized operations since we generate toolpaths all the time from MCX files as tools etc. tend to change all the time. But thanks for the enlightening answer.

Yeah, I'm with you.  I wish it could be set as an option for the operation, so it would automatically regenerate that way.
