Yes, I thought of that. However I couldn't find the offset value. I see the offset register selection. Maybe it's just user error. Do you know where I can adjust tool length offset? Thanks

PS: I got everything running and working great using FeatureCam. Once you go through the learning curve with FC, it works very well IMO.

  Bummer. It's frustrating because the finish pass toolpath computes all the way to my desired 3" but the rough does not. And I'm using the rough/finish cut selection which uses the same selected geometry. Maybe I'm switching back to FeatureCam? Is there a recommend CAM program besides FC and BobCAD which is good for ID radius work? I'm cutting the inside radius of turbo compressor housings...

I'm having an issue when creating a rough bore toolpath. The geometry is selected 3" deep into the bore but the toolpath will only calculate to 2" deep. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi all,

This is my first post. I'm using featurecam with a shopmaster patriot cnc mill/lathe. I was able to get posts from delcam and I'd like to share them. Enjoy. I'm a complete newbie with the cnc and I'm hoping to get some of my issues solved with the help of others on this forum. Thanks ahead of time.
