I bought my license personally, I can use it wherever I want/ need. Yes my employer should have it but….for $195.00 lifetime it was a no brainer to purchase.

You will get more help/responses if you link a valid Mastercam file. -
Parameters for different materials
#Rekd™ replied to Metals and materials's topic in Industrial Forum
Another issue to be aware of is correcting your feed rate for helixing inside holes close to the diameter of the tool. HSM Advisor has a button for this. -
I always start out with about 75% of what it gives me and then see how the tool/ machine respond and what the part looks like. Then increase from there.

You can change the parameters at each point within the geometry selections in the drill toolpaths.

If you use Harvey tools and Helical Solutions (same parent company). They have an excellent Machining Advisor on their website, it is excellent. I also use HSM advisor that Ron mentioned along with contacting the manufacturers for recommendations for step overs, depth of cuts and feed per tooth. -
If it is rubbing the shank you could grind it down by hand to create more clearance.

If you have the funding buy yourself HSM Advisor (Speeds and Feeds app). The have a free version call FSWizard but the HSM Advisor offers more information and gives you access to FSWizard Pro. I bought personally it a while back on a recommendation from @crazy^millman best $195.00 (life time license) I ever spent for drilling small holes among other features it has. We use a lot of Harvey tools for small end mills under 1/8” and Helical Solutions for 1/8” and larger. They have an excellent Machining Advisor application on their website but it is only for their products.

Then you need to create a small triangle like JP stated.
-
Not sure what toolpaths you are using. If it is a 2D Contour there is a Ramp option and set it by depth. You don’t need a closed contour for this.
-
I would ramp down instead of taking a full depth cut.
-
Getting Ron or Aaron to help you would be worth it, you can't learn this kind of expertise or experience in weeks...takes a lifetime almost!
-
I thought the router posts supported the aggregate heads?
-
If you use HSM Advisor it gives you a lot of information.

Standard Cartesian planes and G-Code are as per this photo. Not sure if your machine is backwards or not.

Are you trying to make it tapered (big on one end and smaller on the other)?
-
@Aaron Eberhard You have so much knowledge of these toolpaths and Mastercam. On top of that your explanations are world class!!! Kudos (also envious)!!!!!

I was able to get decent results with Power Surface in MC2023 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/62vkkqp7c2fe75ov4vszd/fill-holes_JF.stp?rlkey=u24v26p6ekagt7gbprg0onzgl&dl=0

Could be as simple as adding a colour mask option or an ability to manage the levels within Trim.

Select the model on the graphics screen and do a “save some”. Then save it as an .STL file.
