I have posted with my tolerance at .0001 with filter off and there is no gouge. The only problem is I must slow down my feed at the machine or I will get a bad finish.
It is not in the machine 99% of the time my finishes are good. I usually set my filter at 2:1 total of .0002. This is a large gouge about .005. I am running SP2. This is just a ruled surface using two 180 arcs about 5" apart. My code should output all arcs.
I am having problems whenever I use the filter in 2D and on 3D toolpaths. I have downloaded the latest update. When doing a 2D contour on an L shaped part leaving .05 stock in the x/y the front side of the L had .05 stock on it the back side was cut at 0 stock. The blackplot showed the cutter leaving .05 but on verify only the front had the .05. If I take the filter off everything works. On 3D toolpaths I have had what sould be partical arcs turn into full arcs and gouge way into my parts. I have my filter set 2:1 .0002 total. If I turn the filter off everything cuts good but my program is to big. With my 3D program the backplot and verify both looked good.
When using finish parallel or flowline I have noticed a rough finsh on some surfaces and not on others. It is almost like a small grove or gouge in the surface. I us cutting a U shaped surface.I think it has to do with my filter settings. I never had this problem in 9.
I think you maybe right Storkman. It is a Haas post that was updated from 9. This is a new problem that has potential to crash a tool . Had this problem in 9 before, but not involved in the change.Here is a copy of the post.

This porblem is not just on canned cycles. It even happens on a simple contour program when ever there is a tool change.
