I couldn't live without the solid selection button.... What if you just want to machine a certain part of your solid? You could select all, create a bounding box I guess?? That's a feature you'll just have to deal with
I just added a few more functions in my Right-click Context Menu Helps to get away from some of those damn ribbons lol
I do like the new version I reckon, but it's gonna take a few days to get used to...
Not much point in drawing the actual high feed profile. You just need to define it as a corner radius endmill. Usually the Manufacturer can give you the theoretical CR.
When I'm roughing I usually stay somewhere around .002 to .005" tolerance if I leave plenty of rough stock. Turning on the Arc filter will greatly shorten the processed toolpath, and in most cases run much better.
All kind of depends on your machine, toolpath, and what your cutting.
JParis,
How are you creating the paths for plunge milling? Is there a somewhat simple way to rough a 3D part while backing away from the surface wall on retract?
That isn't what I get...
G91 G28 Z0.0 M05 on my Haas will retract to home and Then stop the spindle.
G91 G28 Z0.0 M05 on my Mori will execute the spindle stop as the spindle retracts simultaneously.
Saves a Little bit of time on the mori, and just looks funny on the haas.
