Hello everyone,
I am using 2018 and when I create a face groove tool I would like the add the tools back clearance. Is this possible in 2018 or is it something I will have to wait until 2019 for?
Morning,
I don't do much work that required undercutting tools. I need some help in knowing what surface toolpaths allow undercutting.
I'm doing a groove on a drum for cable winding (Like a crane would use).
Its a helix path. using a 1/8 rad woodruff cutter. groove in the drum is .113 deep but is a .139 rad.
lead is .286 on a 8.576 dia OD.
Must be done from the end being the top. 4th is not a option due to a long reach if done from the side.
Need a lead in and a lead out to clear the part.
I'll work it out, just need a direction on what might work.
Thanks
Machineguy
