Advanced machining cutter control
Advanced machining cutter control
(OP)
In multi-avis curve machining, isoparametric machining, etc. I have the need to use a constant cutter tilt, relative to the drive surface, normal to the forward motion, while using zig-zag path. The tool paths keep indexing the tool axis angle from positive to negative. It must be something related to climb/conventional for each path, but I don't find a way to disable that check.
Anyone know what I'm missing?

RE: Advanced machining cutter control
pick up at both ends of the surface and re-index to get
your set lead or tilt angle, you may want to change from
zig zag to one way next.
If you'd like I'd be glad to look at an example file and
give some suggestions. We've been using V5 for about 4 years
now, specifically the cam with a bunch of multi-axis stuff.

In the old days it would be driving percent lines on an apex surface.
There has ro be a way - just too old & dumb to find it.
