that sounds like a good feature
-
on our fadals with the umbrella style toolchanger it will. Just can't have a tool next to it. So say it's tool 10. Just don't have a tool 9 or 11.
-
that was my next question. Yes the fins only go half way. Just as in the picture
-
That's what he used on this part. I don't know the specs but it looked like he was running about .5 doc and around 5 or 10 ipm. Just my guess as i was glancing from a distance.
-
Slots are .250 wide. This is a prototype that is in the process of being approved. There is "supposed" to be around 1500 pcs. Machine is fadal.

I'm curious to see what your thoughts are on milling these fins. These were done on a vertical mill with a wheel cutter. I don't know the feed or doc specs he used but it took all day. I'm curious to see how to speed this feature up. The fins are spaced . 250 apart 1.75 deep 15 inches long

There's a c hook for filtering. I've tried it once or twice but couldn't figure it out.
-
If not play with the linking parameters. .
-
I'm sure there is. Sorry I don't have access to mc today. I think the" middle passes" all stay down then it retracts up for each finish pass?
-
I have never used the router part of mc,but can you use the 2d blend toolpath? In mill you can just select the 2 lines and it will create passes in between those areas. I think there's an extend entry/exit moves too
-
Not sure if this is what your after,but right click on the toolpath<edit common parameters<reverse toolpath.
-
Wow. At 1:50 that thinga is spinnin
-
Or just blank the filled hole surface. Levels would be my firs5 choice tho
-
no just trying to window select geometry. I cannot see the window but it will window select. I have to click the screen twice.
-
In x7 that setting is under configuration<screen In x9 there isn't the hardware acceleration options I can window select but cannot see the window itself.
-
I can't window select geometry. The box doesn't even come up when I click and drag across the graphics screen.
-
O ok
-
How come you used the shallow toolpath and not scallop? I have never used the shallow toolpath
-
after looking at the part I understand what your trying to do. Blend isn't what your looking for. The only solution I see is to extend the surfaces like you said you've done. without a drive surface outside the cont. boundary mastercam doesn't know where to lay a toolpath. D1.MCX-7

https://youtu.be/TSw59r2gr-k Check out Jays video on blend toolpath
-
I'll try and open your file this afternoon.
-
I haven't looked at your file yet "I'm on my phone" sounds like you need to offset the surface Are you familiar with the blend toolpath? You can offset just a curve and not modify the surface
-
Gap settings<tangential line length.this will extend your toolpath over the edges. Or if you just want an entry try using the "direction" option on the surface parameters page
