Need Help!- CW tool path

[DNA3000]

I give up!
I want to use a CW path on a pocket, but I can't make MC to use a CW path.
I changed the spindle direction, and nothing change, I change the tool path direction, and nothing change.

I am attaching the MCX file ... if someone can explain what I am doing wrong... please. If someone can correct the file... please.
Is just an example of the problem, just a pocket.

I'll try to upload the MCX file and a ZIP with the same file just in case.
Ok... just the ZIP was able to upload.

Thanks!

Two Mastercam tutorial books and I couldn't find the answer... thank you.

The reason is that I am burning bits really fast cutting MDF and I think the reason is because I am cutting pockets CCW instead of CW.

What is the Material and RPM you are running? Is your tool is HSS?

yes, is HSS and is running at 20K RPM

Hi, I don't know the diameter of your tool and the cutting depth but if you are cutting in MDF board with a HSS end mill I think 20000 rpm is too high spindle speed...

I have to agree with you on that, the problem is that I can't lower the speed that much but to 15k RPM.
The diameter is .375 and under where I have burning bits.
With 1/2" or bigger there is no big problems, but .375 and under there is no solution.
