is it oxy free copper we machine that all the time it is way soft and wears out HSS cutters quick... we have had alot of luck with valenites 590 series mills......
I have had MR1 crash on me, only when i try to do an open pocket tool path. I always save my mcx files to my hard drive and my usb drive, just in case.
depth cuts you can tell mc your max depth of cut, as for the helical entry you can tell it pretty much any distance you want that is what is so great about mc you can tell it to do whatever you want it to do. the help files are very good at explaining what each option does as well, i have learned many things from them....
Yes, Depending on the shape of the pocket, if it is a round pocket i use true spiral, if it is a rectangular or sqaure pocket i use constant overlap spiral.... just try some of them out verify should should show if any stock is left or not.
