My Turn! I read many years ago about using a "tool boundary" perpendicular to the cutting direction with Surface Finish Contour. It helps maintain a constant stepover relative to the chain, a bit like Scallop or Flowline. Take a look at the attached file and look at the containment boundary I used. Test_piece2_RT.mcam1 point

When I was programming BC head/table Integrexes I always just set a new offset. If you are indicated to center then there is nothing more than setting C angles. If you are not on center I have a macro I use to set as many angles as I need in new offsets. More than one way to skin this cat.1 point

Blend might also be worth a try as it is good over multiple surfaces (even if they are not particularly well trimmed together).1 point

This sample is in color as it appears in the eBooks version. The print version is grey scale. The CAD Import & Mill Essentials Toolpaths Training Tutorial is intended for anyone looking to understand the ins and outs of Mastercam Mill Essentials toolpaths, while learning the best practices for importing geometry from various CAD software packages. You will learn how to import AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Parasolid files and create the 2D toolpaths for them in Mastercam. Each tutorial walks you through preparing the imported geometry using levels, shows you how to check for problems in the geometry and how to move the geometry to set the work zero. We also cover tool settings, stock setup, drilling, tapping, contouring, pocketing, circle milling, slot milling, 2D High Speed Toolpaths (such as Dynamic Mill, Area Mill, Dynamic Contour, Peel Mill & Blend Mill) and using the WCS in multiple fixture applications.Free1 point
