ok, thanks

Thanks. Um...that sounds easy, but I don't know what that involves. (I haven't done any serious work on MC since X2. I have a lot of catching up to do.)

Does that mean editing the RPX file? I noticed in configuration that there is a simple and detailed tool list. But when I generate a list I don't see the option of choosing one or the other. BTW, I'm on 2018.

I was wondering that myself. Which raises a larger question. Can you customize the output. I'd like to see tool projection on the list.

What's the point of defining that if you have to manually type it in.

Thanks

For feeds and speeds consider Harvey's catalog. They specialize in extra long cutters. I'm not accustomed to using their website, but I know their catalog has pretty good numbers for extra longs.

good luck

What are your benching options after part is machined. In other words, would a mismatch resulting from using two different cutters to finish be acceptable. If so, I'd finish with a larger cutter and ramp mill corners and REST with 5/16 mill.

I think it also happens when you copy and paste toolpaths from one toollpath group to another.
