Climb mill roll in on contour

[huskermcdoogle]

As I mostly cut wood these days, sometimes techniques are needed to prevent splintering when going across the grain.  Rolling into a cross grain cut is normally needed.  So far the only way that I have found to do this is by creating geometry, not a huge problem, but time consuming when you have to do it a lot.

I know this is a best practice for say face milling, see attached video.

 

Does anyone know how to do this on a contour without creating extra geo?  Would this be a good enhancement request to say give us the ability to flip our lead in, and leave comp on the other side?

you could do it with lead in/out.

Supposedly, on the "other" forum, they are working on this.

Can you elaborate on how with lead in/out?

[huskermcdoogle]

Oh nm, I get it, you are saying it could be done using lead in/out if they added functionality.  Yes I agree.

This was brought up a while ago, and I'm pretty sure they gave their patented "We'll look into this" response.

So don't hold your breath.

Dynamic facing is my fav for reducing delam. It climbs all around the outside shape of the part.
