Hi Hoss64. welcome to the world of rapid metal removal, your boss is in for a big shock. does he know how much he will have to spend on tooling, gone are those HHS & ripper cutters. welcome to the world of solid cardide & varying coatings.
To preserve these tools and get the best possible life our of them you need a CAM solution that has specific routines for HSM, i do not believe you are looking in the right direction. Using WorkNC & NC Speed, you get the best posible toolpaths, and a toolpath optimiser to understand where there is a need for feed changes, both up and down where the stock will allow.
Any one can HSM, even your smart cam, just change the feeed rates upwards by 300%. The real difference is having a CAM system that understands the the cutter MUST stop in contact all the time, or approaches and change directions must ALL be in the sweeping "S". Knowlege of remaining material is essential, both for roughing & finishing.
Being in the world of metal cutting for near on 2 decades, Sescoi have a great deal of experience, and users who will testify to that. Ask your local Sescoi office for a list of local users!!!!
