This would be less time consuming than projecting splines and cutting to contours. If you do this alot, make or setup a tilting vise with a known pivot point and use that point as your Z plane datum, then you won't have to reset your tools or reference point. If your blocks are steel, rough out on a vise, and finish on a magnetic sine chuck.

I would use a Surface finish blend. If you're going to use a 1/8" ball mill, take the lower chain and use xform offset contour and offset .06 in, the You can pick the solid, and use the upper and newly created lower chain as blend curves. Course, if that is just a flat top with a radius, I would use a corner rounding endmill to shape the feature.

You can actually change your feed rate for the finish passes using the tool path editor. Right click on the operation and select tool path editor, step through your "passes". Once you get to the pass that you want, you can change the feed rate. It is a bit of a pain and will add some programming time but it will get you what you want. Quote.

If I understand you correctly, yes. Multiple roughing ops with a contour being the last. Dynamic is pretty much a roughing only routine.

Posted January 6, 2012. Had to switch from a 3D Contour path to a Surface finish project Tpath because the ball mill I used didn't follow the surface at bottom of cut. I couldn't figure out why but I had to go with what works so I switched to the surface projected path. The geometry I chained for the 3D Contour was projected onto a compound angle.

Posted June 27, 2013. We currently are working on a part that has a 25 degree undercut bevel. We are trying to use a slot mill with corner radius to cut from the top down using the top edge of the cutter. The only way we can make it work is to lie to the computer and tell it that the cutter has a full radius, and when we send it to the machine ...

Contour machining. The Contour strategy is designed to give you an optimal finish for steep regions in your geometry. It is typically applied to areas where the slope exceeds an angle of 30 degrees. The Contour algorithm virtually slices the geometry into horizontal layers. At every layer, the toolpath then machines along the edge of the two ...

Verified Members. 638. Posted January 11, 2004. Generally speaking the parallel toolpath is best on flat surfaces. A bottle mold core or cavity doesn't usually have a lot of flat surfaces. Have you tried contour with the shallow option. Project blend would also work well if you use the parting lines to blend between.

It's a Mazak J400 Integrex and when I rough turn and finish my B axis is on a +45 but it post out -45. It's getting that value from Mastercam's tool field but if I put it to +45 the toolpath shows a crash cause the tool faces the wrong direction. I though my machine def is set wrong but the changes I made to the b axis don't seem to have an …

Accelerated Finishing is a cutting method that delivers a higher quality surface in less time than traditional finishing techniques. It will help to look at Accelerated Finishing compared to traditional finish machining to understand the advantages. Traditional finish machining is the most time-consuming segment of any CNC milling project.

The tool path for line cutting mainly consists of a series of straight lines that are parallel to a fixed direction, making its calculation simple. This method is ideal for simple cavity finishing or rough machining to remove excess material. An example of this is shown in Fig. 1 – reciprocating cutter rail.

This is done by programming the path using a normal 3D tool path (say Flowline, or Surface Finish Contour), and then running the "3D Comp" C-Hook. This converts the "normal" (G1, G2, G3) path code into "G11" moves, and writes the additional "Surface Normal Vector" info to the "G11" line.

The surface finish contour toolpath works fine for this type of surfacing. It's all the the settings. You could try... Using a .500" Ball endmill, setup your tool and the surface parameters. Then move to the finish contour parameters tab. Set the tolerance to .0005". Direction of open contours set to zigzag. Set transition to follow surface.
