General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 Turn - Machining a Dome with a Wizard?
« on: May 06, 2019, 11:59:35 PM »
Hello to all on this forum, I hope you can help a nOOb with a headache.
Could you please advise me on which wizard would be best to make a simple dome on the end of bar or bolt heads etc.
I have tried OD Fillet 2 and OD Arc for ages with all the settings I thought made sense to a manual lathe man but no luck.
I think no luck as none looked right in the toolpath window.
My goal is to start cutting at the centreline outwards to around -2mm z at the outer edge. Creating a shallow curve.
Any help in layman's terms would be great as I have only been into CNC a week.
