step reduction machining

[Joesph Jackman]

can step reduction machining make the tool step up when it has finished taking big steps going down like mastercam optirough can? i watched this video and it does not seem that step reduction machining can.

Step Reduction Milling (SRM)

i am not trying to knock surfcam. i ask because our shop may get surfcam just for truemill toolpaths.

Joseph, if you're looking at buying SURFCAM for Truemill, you won't need SRM. 3 Axis Truemill takes the steps out from the bottom up.

so is srm obsoleted by 3 axis truemill because srm will not step up like 3 axis truemill will?

Sort of. SRM is standard in 3 Axis Advanced. Truemill is a purchased add-on.
