Any chance you can post an example and we can help you directly?
Watch it someone will come along and call you the meanest person on this forum asking such a question.

So the thing is... it is doing in very first pass. After one pass, it goes all the way up like it is re-setting and then plunging directly in. Ideally the tool should be down . instead after each pass goes all the way up and hits the part with 25 plunge rate.
Always use will then add entry and exit to every pass. Another thing is the pivot angle can be 180 to reverse the arc into the cut.

No one ever showed me how to do all of this. You learn by trying and seeing what you can figure out. However just changing the operation to be only 4 Axis worked so the MMD change is not needed. Think about why that CUSP is left? What did you do with the toolpath to make it leave the CUSP?

Not enough room to allow the tool to fit into the corner?

Okay I might be doing something stupid but...
In 5 axis curve toolpath, in linking parameters, feed plane is set to 1.0 incremental. I am understanding that the tool slows down at feed plane and then plunges at the given feed rate instead of using plunge rate. However my machine goes boom with the part. AM i missing something?
Why not add some entry/exit and make it arc into the cut?

Try adding a 4 Axis only Axis combination to the MMD and then change that operation to use that axis combination. Also need to set the operation up to only output in a 4 axis.

Scratch the above just making it a only 4 Axis operation worked also.

Might try doing a reinstall and see if that helps.

I have seen this before and it can be annoying. I also have not been able to pinpoint what causes it or prevent it.

Agree without a file hard to help. I would get away from the Chook and use a different toolpath.

What speed do you use. We want to try it on some 00-90 threads
Speed is one part of the equation. Synchronization of the spindle to the feed rate is the real issue. Need to think about using the Emuge Floating holder and that will make the process more successful. Ream the holes before roll tapping them to provide the most stable surface to allow the molecules the shape and preform needed to make this work. Drill is still be nature a ripping action into the Material and even a triple margin drill is nothing compared to a reamer at providing the base base surface for roll forming holes in any ferrous based material.
That said I might start at 2000 rpms with a G95 feed. That woulds be .0111 per revolution or 22.2222 ipm feed rate.

Not that I am aware of. Need a Chook from them to handle it. Reach out to that group and see what they have.
-
The other thing is the post is not setup to support different C & Tplane locations. They must all share the same Zero point. They are not and I suspect that is what is giving you the posting issue. Use the center of the rotary as the Zero for all 4 planes.

Need to have the MCD(Machine Control definition) default the mi4 to 1 to always post Negative A values. Right down it is defaulting to 0 which will always try to output Positive A when the machine needs Negative A.
You highlight all operation can right click and make the adjustment to this file with edit common parameters.

I would try using a Nvidia Quardo card. I would start with a 2000 series, but the 4000 would be the better choice.. I would move up to at least 32gb of ram if not 64gb.

Last question, can this be sat as a default?
We use to be able through the Operation defaults in the MCD(Machine Control Definition). Not sure anymore been years since I changed any of them.
-
Change NC precision in the control definition out to 6 places in inch and 5 places in Metric and see if that helps. There is a major issue with rounding and truncation going on that has been present since X came out. When they allow the NCI to have more than 8 places past the decimal then this issue might finally get resolved. Did this on some HAAS, Mori and few other machines and these arc errors went away on all but one file. That one was not the machine, but the source file. Metric project converted to inch using a post.

5 axis curve toolpath feed plane
in Industrial Forum
Posted
It is a Postability post. You need to use the mr8 to eliminate the SUPA moves between each cut in an operation. IF you don't want then between each operation when using the same tool then mr7 will have to be used also. Postability has video's and documentation explaining all of this.
