    In situations like that I try to create one surface(usually a swept) if possable then use flowline toolpath
  2. duckdogers
    not sure,climb milling should always cut straighter because it pulls the cutter into the material
  3. duckdogers
    its hard to say without seeing the actual mastercam program
  4. duckdogers
    not really a big deal just reverse the chain
  5. duckdogers
    that sounds like a machine issue but I have to ask,why bore and not contour cut the hole its a lot faster .I have never used a boring head yet
  6. duckdogers
    I agree you can probably increase speeds and feeds ,its only aluminium
  7. duckdogers
    I would double the rough stepover and depending on finish I always use a .002 or .003
  8. duckdogers
    I would do it this way also
  9. duckdogers
    create a point 4mm from one side then chain the point first then the hole use point as starting point
  10. duckdogers
    can you attach the mc file so we can look at your settings I generally do things like that with a scallop toolpath with a small stepover
  11. duckdogers
    I to use helix bore quite often and it does everything I want it to do
  12. duckdogers
    this is what I do because I was also having the same problems as murlin is seems to work for me
  13. duckdogers
    micro is right I use this toolpath all the time but I usually create a single surface I did not realize there was more than one surface
  14. duckdogers
    in flowline op click on geometry then flowline then cut direction should give you what you want
  15. duckdogers
    sorry that's the only thing I can think of foam isn't the easiest to cut at the best of times
  16. duckdogers
    feed rate maybe to fast?Foam might push away from cutter before it gets a chance to cut.What kind of cutter are you using it will need to be sharp
  17. duckdogers
