Surface rough pocket incremental detect flats
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to Chris Rizzo's topic in Industrial Forum
More Mud... When you call out critical depths Mc won't blow them off anymore and will leave your drive stock amount on them instead of just A positive stock amount of whatever your Depth of cut is set for. So if its -.200 deep and you have a ledge at -.08 and you say leave .01 drive stock and your d.o.c. is -.05 it will cut it at -.05 then blow past it to the next d.o.c. at -.100 leaving +.03 on it instead of +.01 unless you called the -.08 in critical depths.Then it would make a -.07 pass for you . -
I just use contour. If there is any elevation change MC will pick it up and toggle the toolpath to a 3d contour. *Edit* It won't let me upload, so i'll email it to you. Tony

Frank If you need to get going Now I would try the generic posts that come with MC starting with MPFAN. A simple peck drill then a contour and then a 3d contour. See if you get any errors.

Excessive Retracts in Restmill
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to dgriffiths's topic in Industrial Forum
I do not use Rest mill because of all the added moves.I just get creative and make some pocket boundries to clean the stock out. operation 1 "Clean up the walls and stay off the floor by .005" Operation 2 "Nail the Z and stay off the wall by .005" It works...... -

In the voice of Dr.Phil "You just don't get it do ya, You just don't get it" Oh and on the surface thing... In Shading,Tighten up your chordal deveation to .0002 poof, gaps are gone.

Here is what I do. If I know that the regen is going to be time consuming and I am not sure if it will even do what I want it to do, I will take it all in one pass or in surfacing in passes of .01+ or something. Then it regens in a snap and if it cut all the areas I wanted cut nicely I will then Set it for depth cuts of .002 etc. Tony Sprinting for the 200 Mark

Surface rough pocket, leave a couple of grand for cleaning them up. Then contour a row of bosses climb milling, and make sure your bosses contour is a true arc not a spline or it will look like a stop sign not a clean circle. (Watch your lead in out so you dont gouge ) You might have to tweak your start point in the chain manager, I would use dynamic mode) then transform your toolpath X amount of times each row(If there in a row) ? If you can't find these things just ask.

Plunge Rate and percent feed per tooth
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to GreggT's topic in Industrial Forum
most of the time when I am surfacing I keep the Feedrate and the plunge rate the same. The machine cuts smoother then if it had to keep adjusting its feedrates all over the place. -
Full size tool in MC .000 tool diameter in the control To size you cut -.001 in the control etc. *Except when you Tap then you must call out the tool in the control or the speeds n feeds wont sync.(You will only do that once)!
