3- I used pencil but I wonder what the best to get the leftovers on the wall
I am not sure how to post photos but here is the link to my picture

I would like to know which path would be best for this part.
1-part has .375 radius and I am using a .750 dia ball endmill so its right to size.
2-my goal is to run a cutter to cut the wall and follow path of radius - kind of like a 3d contour cut

Mastercam X3
I have a basic cylidrical part with 4 holes at 90 degrees apart on the outside.
My wcs is set at top - my tplane set at top(hole 1) front (hole2) bottom(hole3) and back (hole4)
everything looks good on verify and simulation
problem - g code has A0 (correct) A90 (correct) A180 (correct) A180 (incorrect)
I can't find settings in my post processor to see if its maxed at 180?
Machine defintion is VMC A axis is set Min -3600.00 Max 3600.00 Shortest distance CW
I was able to figure it out using advanced mutli 5-axis swarf. I cant control how the b spins because we are using a trunnion. The trunnion doesn't tilt shown in verification so that is why the b axis is rotating to compensate
Thanks
I will give it a try. I didn't understand because i dont know how to do it. I will tinker with it and see what happens. So basically i create a new plane from one of the walls and run a 2d pocket path? I guess i was confused because I needed the 5axis
does anyone have a good Hass 5 Axis post that utilizes the HRT210? Maybe my post is just not set up correctly - I am using the Generix 5x post. Sorry if I posted in wront area
I could probably live with the b axis rotating but:
1- I add depth of cuts to my curve 5 axis and it seems to take different passes at different depths
2- the rotary is choppy when it cuts
I just cant figure out how to fix these
I would like to have A and B axis have minumim tilt and then let the X and Y make all the moves, right now the X and Y are really not making any travel movements and the B axis is spinning the part to meet the cutter path. Im not sure if I am explaining it correctly
Hi,
I am machining a 5 axis curve part(basically its a pocket and the walls are angle inwards a couple degrees). I am driving my tool along the curve and it looks good on verify. I run it on the HAAS machine and the B axis looks like its moving around the cutter the b axis is moving 90+ degrees to machine the part.
1 - Is there a way to get the A and B axis to have minimum movement and just have the X and Y profile the pocket?
Thanks
I accidentally deleted all my tool operations! does anyone know how i can restore it. i made alot of change in past ten minutes and i dont want to start over.
Hi,
I would like to know if anyone would happen to know why i am recieving this message?
"Problems with custom tool file or data"
I created a custom slot mill in undefined tools. This is basically a slot mill with a 20 deg angle on it.
If anyone can take a look at my file - i would really appreciate it.
