Advanced rotary Tool path

[DavidB]

I can not generate an advanced rotary toolpath thread manager shows it it hanging for 99% for ever. (UnKnown Operation) ???

Also MC help says roughing or finishing

My drop down shows roughing only?

Well, more info on what you are trying to accomplish or how you are using the path would be helpful.  If you can't post your file, see if you can create something similar in shape and recreate the problem on something you can post.  As you know many of us will gladly help you out.  As for the finishing / roughing side of it, not sure but many of those are dependent.  Maybe it has to do with tool type selected?

What I will do it right click and kick it up to high then back to normal in the Multi-Threading manager. Sometimes that is enough to trick into submission.

I want to machine the green surfaces only and not touch the red surfaces. File attached

I played with this a bit over lunch, and I couldn't get it it work either in 2018.  In 2019, it generates in about 30 seconds, so there must be something in there that it didn't like.  I'm not sure which fix specifically fixed this for your case.

I did have to do some work to clean up the file before it would work at all, though, as according to your stock, there's nothing to machine:

Assuming you have cylindrical stock setup,

I'd just select everything and let 'er go:

I've attached the file in 2019 format to play with if you've installed that.

So as mentioned above 2018 will not generate my toolpath but 2019 will. Well Im stuck then hey?

David, I would swarf the walls and then Morph Between 2 Curves for the Top Radius.

Material is P20 Hardened to 55Rc I need to cut the thread into the core (Green surfaces). I need to cut the green surfaces and I can not touch the red surfaces.

I want to rough it with a 1.5mm Ballnose then I need to go down to a 0.6mm Ballnoe

Any guidance on how to tool path this job would be greatly appreciated. It will be cut on a HAAS UMC 750 SS

Cheers
