3D slot mill in mastercam for sw

[yestwp]

Hi everyone,

 

I get a sample work to do for milling several slots in a turning part.

 

in my pre thinking, i decide to use 3.0mm flat end mill for rough milling and 1.5mm flat end mill for finish in the toolpath.

 

but after i started, i get no luck. the toolpath seems much more different from what i thought.

 

here are the files attach, can anyone tell me how to solve the problem.

 

thanks!!

 

the version of the file is solidworks 2015 with mastercam x9

Are you wanting to mill length wise along the geom in thumbnail #3?

Did you try using a project tpath?

Use your sketch geom to write a 2D pocket, this will setup tool motion, then use the surface project tpath and project the NCI data.

Do you really need to be machining the entire part?

 

Would this work the way you like if you only selected a handful of faces?
