4 Axis wire compound angle holes

[Dustin75]

New to forum and 4 Axis tool paths    i have some compound angle holes to wire out of a cavity not sure where to begin 

 

please give me some advice

If they are just holes, then set your start point in the center and chain the bottom hole and then chain the top hole and be sure and sync them by entity using 4 axis wirepath. Make sure that each hole is at the right z level too.

You can if you want. Is there a reason you want to leave a tab? What wire machine are you using?

[Dustin75]

Mitsubishi FA20S   i m the only one who runs the machine and there is 4 holes in the cavity that away it can burn when i leave

Mitsubishi FA20S.   I was just wanting to know if it is possible in a 4Axis path

Yes you can leave a tab and add a stop before and after the cutoff. Just input your tab length and input your leadout so it doesnt try to burn back to startpoint. You may want to break the circles at 180 degrees manually also.

I'm attaching the file, the first program uses the full circles the second one uses the splines that are on a flat plane.
