finish inside complete, then cut around out side leaving some tabs. Or cut inside complete and throw on a fixture with bosses standing to fit slots.
Put tapped holes in middle of bosses to hold down. Second way is safer if lots of parts.
BenK setting is what I run on all my haas. Now run it with only .005-.01 stock left 1/8 or 3/16 ball .003-.004 step over and not a super high feed rate. It is a haas not a makino, just ask Bob. lol
I bet the part is chattering more than the cutter on that. A balanced set screw holder would probably be more rigid. But what you have ain't bad.
I usually go inserted cutter with big step over and .075 depth of cut on something like. About the same feed rate so I don't know what would be faster
Yes shop down road with makinos and they like this, If I use smoothing on are new vm3 haas it looks nice but I can only achieve about 50ipm actual speed even if I program 400. Its smooth and not jerky just slow.
Helix bore is great with mask on arc set. On jobs with alot of holes. Contour not so fast. Window hole plate and it will grab every one you set up in your mask.
Everytime I save my verify as stl for later toolpaths it crashes when I exit out of verify. The file is saved but mc crashes when I close the verfiy. This is x8 on the latest updates. I don't see anyone else
having this issue on here? What am I doing wrong?
thanks
