Does the "Angle Slot Cutter Rev. 2.4" work?
« on: August 18, 2013, 10:36:56 AM »
Haven't used Mill much so it's probably my ignorance but I can't get this wiz to work.  I just need a couple angled slots but the generated code just plunges the Z axis a few times with no X-Y moves at all.

Here's the code & I attached a shot of the wiz screen.

Thanks for lookin'

Thanks BR; did you input the same numbers I used?  If so, it must be something in my mill config or ??

I know nothing yet about cutter compensation.  Could it be something I need to config to make it work...or does that wiz even use it.

Silly me. ::)

I clicked the "Ramp" button and the wiz & worked flawlessly.  Dunno why it won't when "Plunge" is selected but I'm happy any way.
