Help to reduce air cutting

[bad-mod]

hey guys been trying for a while to figure this one out. I want to rough a triangular shape off a part which is simple enough but i would like to be able to link the operation to the stock  so i can do away with air cutting. 

thought of many ways I can bullxxxx it or do it in multiple operations to make it more efficient but i figure if mastercam is clever as i think it is there must be a way.  

 

I have attached a copy of the file and a screen shot as well

 

 

Cheers in advance guys.

Dynamic optirough if your using x9. Chain your stock and pick the entire model for drive. Set your depths let her eat some chips!

Here is a sample using Stock modle and your part and tool.

hey Jay,

I think he wants to remove the Wedge?

Here's my take on it.

Oh,

He needed my .stl file that I created from his stock.

Site would not allow upload of the .stl file, although looks like Scottbro used the same technique but set-up a stock operation first.

I think Scottbro did a better job, as there is only a single file to manage.

Same result though...

Sorry about ver. 9 to the original poster.

 

Good luck,

------------Went back and changed my uploaded file to work without the .stl file.--------------

Scottbro, that worked like mine except you used a STL file why. his modle was all ready separeatted so you could of picked his sold at the Stock modle level.

It would be nice if Bad-Mod would reply to see if we gave what he needs.

You have overwhelmed him Jay...

Thanks guys!.{Jay  i am on the other sid of the world so i was asleep, thats why i said thanks in advance } Scott you the man. Don't know why i didn't work that out yesterday ?

buy anyhow sorted now.

what was that that you did with the extrusions i made ?  and was there and advantage to doing that ?

[ScottBro4]

No problem Bad-mod. I think you're asking me how and why I joined the 2 solids? I used the boolean feature. The reason I did that is to work with one solid. Its a little easier to make a stock model that way. The benefit to a stock model is Mastercam will base its toolpaths from the geometry of the stock model so you don't have air passes. The benefit of that is Mastercam thinks so you don't have to. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Sweet cheers bro.
