Need help Control Cutter Comp with the Rolldie.dll

uncheck the smoothing all together. Try a .0002 total tolerance Slider to the Right 75%
-
More reply options, my media, or add image if you have it hosted online.

I stand corrected, I would think that would be a simple task.
-
Sorry boss, no Dice You'll have to do a Revolved Cut I believe.... Or any other decent CAD system I guess
-
Many solid improvements have been made since X5. Post up a file and someone can give it a go in X9, and save it as a .stp file so you can open it.

^^^^^^ 15/64" ball-nose

Are you in the TOP view and wcs
-
There are several different ways to accomplish what you want. You can check the from outside button, use air region, or add entry chain. I personally would Peel Mill that slot and you'd have Plenty of entry options....
-
Chain start point before you chain your 2D geometry.

Thank you that did the trick, after I deleted the op and created a new one??? Thanks everyone

No dice....

300 TEST.mcx-9

If anyone has any better ways to tackle this, I'm all ears The Solid doesn't have the slots modeled, but you can see the curve I'm trying to cut.

On latest X9 with multiaxis Cutting a simple projected curve (axis sub would work...) and I'm trying to get more familiar with these paths. I've done a few parts that came out nice with this path before, but I CANNOT get the tool to Climb Cut on a simple contour. I'm using 3D curves with a surface for tool axis. Driving the center-line (no comp) I've chained both directions, used radial offset, and even computer comp with No change. Multiple depths but it Always conventional mills...

There is a Solid Select button towards the upper right side of the screen. Can change to faces or bodies

Checking a tight tolerance chamfer

Yes, It's from the bore. That's about what I was thinkin' Thanks for the help guys -
Checking a tight tolerance chamfer
Rstewart replied to Rstewart's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Out of likes for the day LOL^^^ Yup, I'm thinkin the ball is the way to go maybe now. Anyone recommend a certain size of ball for a .751 hole with a .015" wide 15 deg chamfer. I can just model it up to give me the correct height for chamfer width. -
Good gawd! Those knives are between 600 and 1G, and ALL Sold out I'm in the wrong business

Checking a tight tolerance chamfer
Rstewart replied to Rstewart's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
It's on the mill. The .750" bore is +.0015 -0. 2.00" deep with a 15deg chamfer on top and bottom. Cathedral, I think you might have the best Idea (sawing in half) with dummy stock. -
Have some aluminum parts I'm going to machine; about 24 of them. The print has a 15deg chamfer ± .002" on a through bore (.750"). We're kind of a mom and pop shop without a CMM or a whole lot of gauging. What's my bet on checking these Before I send them out for inspection?

Mastercam is laughing at me. (Cutter comp)
Rstewart replied to barnaby thomas's topic in Industrial Forum
Also, on Helix bore toolpath make sure you have "start at center" and "Perpendicular entry" checked if using Wear or Control. You must have a straight line move before you arc into the cut or will most likely get a CC alarm. -
Yea but aren't the first few moves in the path at depth *Tiny*
-
I have some time to look at your file if you want...
-
I would get away from that Multiax Drill and just do it old skewl with Planes to get the job out the door....
