NX 6.0 CAM Question
NX 6.0 CAM Question
(OP)
Hi,
I am new to NX and I am trying to cut 6 slots on a diameter using a 4 axis lathe and a woodruff cutter, the slots have the radius of the cutter at the end of the slot.
the intention is to bring the woodruff cutter in Vertically and rough and finish the slot Horizontally from the front face to a depth of 20mm, the problem is I am not sure what method to use, Contour Profile? etc.
I hope this is enough information for someone to help me.

point/curve method,
projection should be toward line (to part rotation axis)
