Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Question on 4 Axis Toolpath?
« on: April 09, 2018, 07:30:52 AM »
Dazed+Confused,
Just a question, what Diameter do you set, the Stock to be cut or the Maximum Diameter of the Model.
If it is the Maximum Diameter of the Model then the only way to ascertain that correctly would be wih the CAM Model, as in my Z Axis (being the Radius) is not the Tip of the Tool but higher by the Radius of the Tool Tip.
Also with 4 Axis Simultaneous the Z Axis would move off center.
Does this ToolPath Regen to display the Correct shape of the Model affect the G-Code being sent to the Controller?
Regards.Mauri.
