Can't climb cut a profile

[Robert Szweda]

Hi guys

I have just finished a fixture plate that will mount 4 parts to machine (4) 1 X 4 aluminum parts with 2 counter bored holes and 1 tapped hole. On the open end of the fixture, I want to cut a 1 inch radius profile on each of the 4 parts.

My problem is I can not get Bob cad V24 to cut this profile using a climb cut but only a conventional cut. What do I have to do to cut this profile in a climb cut so I get a better finish?

try creating a contour out of the geometry, which carries directional information with it.

if you are using v 24 and want to climb cut the od
then go to feature, right click start point, left click
reverse direction, recalculate toolpath
