4th Axis Rouging and Finish problems
First let me say I am a newbie to Visual Mill and machining in general.
I am using using the most current version of the Expert module.
I have a very simple tapered shaft that I want to rough out of a 4x4 When I use the R-Level Roughing tool most of the time in the simulation it only cuts air. It seems to me it should be a very simple thing to have it rotate the part as the router moves down the length of the part cutting, then the router steps in a % of the bit diameter and repeats until it cuts down close to the part shape, but for the life of me I can't find any settings that will even come close to doing that.
I have noticed that in the older version tutorials the 4th Axis Ring example is roughed out similar to what I need, but the new tutorials rough it out in 3d and then rotate the table 180 and rough it out again. There has to be a way to do like the old tutorials show??
Any help appreciated
