Thad,

Yes I am cutting from the outside to the inside.

I had thought of clicking on "expand inside to outside" but I don't know whether that was going to be beneficial or not

Hey guy's, just a quick question. Is there any reason why when doing a leftover pass, that I can stop it from trying to take all the mat'l(only in certain area's)in one cut. I say in certain area's because in all of the other surfaced area's it gradually takes the mat'l(0.015" cuts)

away?

Thank-you very much it worked perfectly

I think that I did it right posting the file in the FTP site. It should be called BOT MASTER.

If you have any problems finding the file let me know

Sorry guy's, I know I seem to be constantly asking

question's and not responding to any other's problem's, but I don't know where to go to find peoples questions. Also I have a small situation

dealing with a surface. When shaded, it has a shadowy area in the corner. I can't see any distortion in the surface and there is no self intersecting area's. Is this surface okay or is there a way to fix it. I've tried to surface it a few different way's, but a loft surface seem's to work the best but gives me the shadow. Also is there a way to tighten the surfaces to take up the spaces between merging surfaces to make them look better?

Hi Trev

Iskander gave me enough information to put me in the right direction, thank-you

Hi Iskander teh Lazy

Thanks for all your help, you seem to know quite bit about Mastercam. Much appreciated

Trev

What I'm trying to do is, instead of cutting one

side of surfaces (ex.punch side),negative stock off, I'm offsetting the surfaces the mat'l thickness so that both the punch side, and the die side of mat'l can be cut zero stock left on the drive surfaces. I'm hoping this might help.

Hi zT-909

Where abouts would I find "tool containment"?

I'm just enquiring about offsetting surfaces.

I'm currently surfacing a part, and have the lower half finished. Is there a way to offset the surfaces to have them not be as distorted as they seem to come out? I know that when making a surface, or offsetting a spline ect. sometimes they end up intersecting into themselves. Is this what I am going to have to deal with, or is there a simple solution?

Thank-you Erik

Hi guy's, I've got a question concerning tapping heads. This is the first time I've used one and I'm not quite sure of the proper speeds and feeds.

The head is a "TAPMATIC 50 TC/DC"

Hi Murlin and Jean

I couldn't remember what the error said so i reprocessed the cutterpath without changing anything, that I could see, and it worked this time. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Is there any reason why I would get an error in

the processing of a leftover pass. Mabey that there isn't any mat'l?
