Here are two methods i came up with, however i dont know if either gives you the exact shape your after but these solid tools i show may help you out a bit with some options that you have.

method 1. extrude and keep common areas with boolean

method 2. sweep and use the twist setting on the advanced tab

That first one was perfect, a lot easier. Thank you very much Josh.

I got it but there might be an easier way ha ha. It is .25 wide and .136 thick and just needed to go from the one plane to the other for random pattern breaks in a pool cue design. Thank you for the help guys. You are great.

The file is here, just need the arc twisted from the left plane to the right plane. Just a partial.

Hi guys, is there a workaround for a planer set trying to extrude a twisted/waved washer?. Thank you for the help

I got it figured out guys, I just had to edit the programs. Thank you all.

I tried generic Fanuc, MPRouter posts but keep getting error numbers that won't let the program run. Error20 Error24 Error33 Error9. The working sample runs, the other is mine and has errors as shown in the last program from Candle. I'm sure this has been a topic before. Thank you for the help.

I just modded the Generic fanuc post to work with GBRL if you want a copy

 

Yes please on a copy. Thank you.

I bet the lead in/out is the problem. And or the ramp also, as Reclinerman said. Try running it without those active, and set your Z above the material and watch the cut path.

I got it, guys, thank you for the help. I used Create Surface, Swept with 2 rails. I picked the top profile, and the beginning of the neck profile. My two rails were one side, down from the top profile, and the curved line in the middle. I then mirrored the surface, and used the split surface tool to clean up the excess.

Can you post the file?

File added, any help will be great, the neck is there and complete.

What is the best way to get the surface to follow the curve to the top. I have been playing with create, Surface, swept, but it just gets close to what I need. Thank you all.

Hi all, is there a way to get one that will work with Mastercam?.
