Rolldie 5 axis toolpath

Recommended Posts

Rolldie is a Chook (add-in program to Mastercam). It is used for 4-Axis cuts, where the spindle must be offset from the centerline of the rotary axis. (With Axis Substitution, your tool tip always points towards the rotation centerline.)

It was created to allow users without a 5X license to still produce complex slots, on a 4X machine.
