Can't figure out right tool path

[jjec02]

Can someone help me to tell me what tool path to use on this video from 1:03-1:08?

I am fairly new in the past year and need some direction. Thank you so much.

It looks like a 2d high speed or a surface high speed rough.

 

They have it set to retract at about an inch or two gap it seems

[Leon82]

There are several

The next few seem like 3+2 and the last could be a swarf or 5axis curve

[jjec02]

How would I do that?

Well likely it is either swarf or curve 5ax.  They are in the multiaxis suite.

So if I use the swarf toolpath it looks like it should work but when run it on my cnc machine the b axis doesn't turn at all. Is there something i need to do to make that happen?

Can you share a file?  Maybe some one could actually put a path on it for you.  That's a loaded question  without knowing what post and more details.

I attached the mastercam file here. Toolpath #6 Swarf is the problem I am having. It looks like it is what I want, but when I put it into a G code it doesn't really do what I want it to do. The A axis goes from -80 to +236 back to -236 then to 80 and all over the place. I don't think it should spin all over the place like this. Can someone take a look and give me some pointers?? I really appreciate the help

Sorry, I'm on 2018.

[jjec02]

What do u mean 2018? Can you not open the file?

[jlw™]

I can but I can't send it back and I'm sure the paths are different.  I never used X7.  I started on X8.

Could you take a video of it so I know how you do it possibly? I'm just at a loss
