I am running MC 2017.

Does anyone have experience getting Mastercam to use barrel cutters in a 5 axis set-up? I've tried many different multiaxis toolpaths, and I cannot seem to get the path to work properly. I am using a 3/8 diameter cutter with a 1" radius with roughly .875 length of cut and a .08 radius at the bottom. If anyone has any insight on a proper toolpath it would be greatly appreciated!

Barrel Cutters for curved surfaces

Well, I have most recently tried the "curve" multi axis path and the "along curve" multi axis path. Neither of them recognize the parameters I have set for the tool. It is like they just want to use it as a ball endmill. I am sure there is something that I am missing. Most of the time it seems that its more of an issue with just getting MC to do what is in my head by playing around with the numbers inside the toolpaths.
