Hi All, Just cut my first 4th axis toolpaths and am pretty excited. Using Mastercam X, I was able to generate paths that would wrap over my part's edge radius if I used an Axial path, but I would really like to figure a way to accomplish this using a Rotary cut path (rotary path only approaches edge of part, never wraps over). Is there a way to fake it or force it to roll over final radius? Or, is there some reason it can't do that? Also- for 4 axis, ball endmill programming in general, can anyone recommend any good resources to learn more about cutting strategys/hints in general? For example- how best to determine lead angles, why/when to use different comp types? It seems there is a lot to consider to get good resuts, and very little I can find on the subject. Thanks, Jeff  |
