If you surface it with a large bull mill with a larger radius you can get a decent finish with a good step over.
If you are trying not to stress the part or need a very nice finish you may want to use the angle plate.
It does this on 5 axis drill too. When we called they said verify doesn't really do that properly.
In 2018 it gives a warning as you enter verify stating it doesn't simulate multi axis drilling.
If we program it all separate planes it works fine
Why doesn't he like where it's located. As an end-user don't we only care about the NC file
I would consider trying to alter the format of the NCI file a hoop to jump through no?
We have 1604 bit zero on and the install guys put the g5.1q0 in the settings sub program.
But the ots macro where it spins the tool to touch off isn't working. The guy is coming to look at it but I may try turning the parameter off to see if it makes a difference
For lage production runs I offset a bunch of chains the length I want and chain my way down.
Smaller quantities I break it up in depths and shorten the lead in at the top cahins
I would also try it with a G 91 added to that second G30 line. I think I've seen these things do some weird stuff when it wasn't specified in each line
The other thing can be that the 2nd return position in the machine is set wrong.
Normally g30 can be a pallet change position, tool change position of any position you set into the parameters
Z is probably set to a large negative value
