I'm trying to use the morph tool path to finish the hub of an impeller, the tool path looks good however when attempt to post it I get an error that says: "WARNING - INCREMENTAL C-AXIS MOTION OF -179.745 DUE TO VERTICAL TOOL, ADD RETRACT MOVE? (ADJUST TOOL PATH TO AVOID THIS)" I understand that this error comes up because when the B-axis is equal to zero there is infinite possible solutions for C, I have tried to add limits in the tool path for the B-axis so that it will never be equal to zero however this doesn't seem to solve the issue. Has anyone else had problems like this before that can share some knowledge on how to avoid this issue?

This is my first successful attempt at machining an impeller. I tried one a few years ago that had a splitter vane and a wicked twist, but couldn't get thru it without violating the vanes. I am a much better programmer now & the programming tools have gotten better & easier to use. Plus we have a machine that is made for full five axis high speed machining now. This one needs some improvements to the surface finish and improved blends, but I am happy to get one finished and I know improvement will come.

Hi, Now that I have set my tooling correctly in Robotmaster, I want to proceed to 5 axis milling, might need some help from you guys, this is my 1st try. Please open attachment for IMPELLER--3 SCALE UP X5.mcx-6. Will make a video clip and upload this as a tutorial for sharing. IMPELLER--3 SCALE UP X5.MCX-6
