Hi everyone! I want to machine bronze color surface using 4 or 5 axis machine. how to control tool axis in order my tool always normal to gray surface thanks files attached test unite tool path.mcam

Thanks! I know and I did set that but like i say tool only stop on collision only and not show cutting fixture

in verify I have display of stock , fixture , tool ... how do i can verify if the tool touch the fixture. I made the test so that tool will cut the fixture . But why it not show up in verify?

how does slotting solve this problem? adjusting the ramp pitch? i mean use thread toolpath but pick slotting saw tool

I avoid this problem by not using thread mill tool definition in stead of it i use slot mill , and i don not have any problem

Turn off depth of cut or put + value in top of stock
