  1. Looking for some ideas on how to cut the underside of this. Tried just about every tool path I can think of and cant come up with any clean paths. Have to use a 2.5" dia wheel cutter to get in there. The thickest it can be is .375" with .125R. Nothing on that under surface is flat, the walls are but those are easy to do. It curves down until gets to front side and then starts to curve the other way. So I need to be able to balllnose it.
  2. I worked at a aerospace composite company for several years cutting carbon fiber. Best cutters I found for sheet like you are talking about was diamond grit cutters from Starlite. I didn't use their arbors, I would get those from Onsrud. They last for ever http://www.starlite.diamonds/c00120/page02.shtml I would use the Onsrud 66-900 line of carbide burrs to ruff profile and finish with a regular end mill using the oscillating tool paths. The coarse tooth carbide burr from Starlite also works well if you are not as concerned about finish, its a very inexpressive cutter. http://www.starlite.diamonds/c00120/page11.shtml
  3. So the CALL OO88 can not be used with live 5-axis machining
