Finish path

[tt_raptor_90]

Hi,

I have a quick question regarding a finishing path. Let's say that I did a rough pocket on a cavity and left 0.1mm for the finishing pass. For the sidewalls I just do a finish contour path and that is taken care of, but what is the best toolpath to use to face the flat sections? Should I proceed in this manner, or just have the finish option in my roughing tool path complete the inside cavity?

Thanks for the help,

Sebastian

if your are finishing both bottom and side do a pocket if it just the sides do a frame

The pocketing dialog has several options to control the finishing. Or you can have MC create 'additional finishing operations' when you create the pocketing toolpath so you can have a whole other operation to tweak.

Toolpath - Surface - Finish - Shallow.

You can specify the floor angle as a range ( 0° - 14° ). If it's truly flat you can also do a Toolpath - Pocket and just select the geometry at the base of the floor.
