Making a groove in EdgeCAM

[FeldWill]

I'm a draftsman who makes shafts in Inventor for CNC programmer to program in EdgeCAM. And every single shaft I make I need to add groove in a middle for when his two passes meet he can touch up a groove to make a place of joining not noticeable.

The problem with this is that my part which is used and will be used by the company will always have this groove that is not suppose to be there.

Is there a way to touch up that groove for him just in EdgeCAM.

Thank You

you want to do a grove without drawing them ?

Just a quick touch into a part .01" deep to mask where maching from the left and machining from the right meets.

Do it without a cycle , choice a rapid feed hit the Z and/or X key on keyboard and point where to go with the groove tool , next choice the cut feed and do the same by pointing manualy the grove.

I hope you understand something.

No, but I will show it to the programmer. I just wanted to know if it could be done.

Thanks
