thread561-320400: CAM in NX - how to slot and what is "steep"
I am trying to mill an open ended slot with cavity mill, the problem i have is that the tool does not feed down in fresh air in front of the job as i would like it to, i have altered nearly everything i coould in the non cutting moves but still has not solved the problem, any ideas?

but i have spoken to someone that recommends planar mill or planar profile for a slot, my only problem now is setting the part and blank boundaries correctly.

Hope this helps.

I agree with diamond3210, face milling is wonderful operation for geometry like this. If you want to machine all the walls then you don't even have to specify any. If you use multiple depth cuts then you also have to set a blank amount. I use face milling frequently and I definitely choose it before I choose planar mill and planar profile.

Stick in there, after making some programs you'll get the hang of it. NX is great it just takes time to figure it all out.

Learn how fun it is to play with other operations and brush up on yer NCM's. It will save you some time.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?
