quote: Tony What about toolpath rauius, micro lift, and back feedrate. (Dynamic Mill) Can you give some more details on them? quote: microlift , simply lift the tool by X amount to clear the back feedrate that i set at maximum machine feedrate i set this the same as goldorak when i start i will use a .01 micro lift in a .01 distance and start with a 50% rad and tweak it from there i try to keep the machine at the highest possible feed so if you have a tighter rad its slows down have a bigger rad and it can keep the feed up and i set keep to tool down and clear for boundary only

quote: quote:entering -1 in the offset field will result in no offset code being generated , which is NOT true.
