    Default Programming backside sphere on Okuma

    Hello, I am trying to program the backside of a sphere with a cutoff tool on an Okuma Crown using the igf. If I use OD it wants to cut along the Z axis, and if I use the OD face it wants to make the arc inverted. I would like it to do some sort of LAP cycle so it rough grooves the sphere, then takes a pass on an arc to finish the sphere. Does anyone know how to program this is IGF without having to program each groove individually? TIA

    hy jacob on newer igf, is possible to use od groove operation ( rough or finish ), that works with both offsets, thus both cutting edges of the cutoff tool ( thus p3 and p4 rad comp quads )

    the tricky part, is that the shape should not begin, nor end with an arch, so direct aproach will fail; one way to fix it, is to add imaginary lines

    on the other side, i have a custom code for cutt-off, that can handle corner chamfer or corner radius, and it handles it in one-shot, or by multiple passes : for example, i few days ago i delivered some o30 parts, with 5mm radius at the far end, and the cut-off tool is roughing those 5mm with multiple passes at 0.6mm doc, then finishes it; if you wish, i'll just share it / kindly
