Trochoidal motion in narrow corner
Trochoidal motion in narrow corner
(OP)
I've been using trochoidal cut pattern in cavity mill for a few years now and been generally satisfied with the results. Recently though I had to mill out a corner with a narrow included angle and wasn't too happy with how it cut. Rather than gradually reduce the trochoidal width at each pass, it would reduce to a fixed width a cluster of passes (8-20). This meant for the majority of passes the width was unnecessarily narrow, embedding the tool. It may not sound like much but it made a difference at the machine and I had to manually reduce feed. Anyone else have an issue with this?

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Am I doing something wrong or is that from 7.5?
For what it's worth, I'm attaching the file I sent GTAC the other day.
Thanks
