Lolipop path

[bigprody]

First time for me with this. I have a tube with a slot going thru one side, need to mill a radius between the slot wall and the I.D. The solid is sound. I defined a lollipop tool and am trying to cut it with a blend path. MC rejects the lollipop and generates a path with a spherical tool. I am not getting the path I need. What am I missing?

Undercut with Flowline or Surface Finish Contour...

 

Most other paths will not process an undercut

Do you have the Multi-Axis module? If some some of the 5 Axis toolpaths will do it in 3 Axis mode.

Thanks guys, no multi axis, I tried flowline and contour still not what i was looking for. I just created a 3d contour and am cutting it with a dove tail cutter, it will work for this application.

You must turn off gouge checking and have the tool properly defined.
