simple ramp

[tsaladyga]

Does anyone know how to mill a slot with a ramp entry. I just need to mill a simple slot and I don't want to have to make a model and create surfaces. I just want to create a sketch of a slot use trajectory mill and set a ramp angle, but it keeps coming out as a plunge move.


Any one please help!!!!


Thanks,


Todd

in customize add an approach that is normal and pick offset, there you can add a z-value and it will ramp into the part. make sure that either the x or y have an offset as well

I thought I could just use trajectory. It has a line in the parameters for ramp angle, but it doesn't do anything. I tried your method but I couldn't get it to work. Maybe I am not understanding. But thanks
