Ok, so yesterday i had a great run on the mill, one part, 6 tool changes, perfect result.
Tonight was a simple part - face, spot, drill 3 holes.
So, I set the ref's with my Haimer, the face cut works nicely, good finish, requests the spotting drill, drill fitted, Z drops to below the vice and then proceeds to snap my nice new bit off by ramming it into the back of said vise
Much language and head scratching follows. I did hit the big red button but was too late to save the bit.
Ok, new bit fitted, ref'd the machine again, reset my co-ordinates, run the part again, facing cut took nothing off of course, just a whisper, spot drill requested again, fitted, this time i had my fist over the stop button, watched and yes it drops the Z way too low for the tool, stop pressed, give up for the night.
Now, had a glass of wine with me tea, and looking at the code (fusion 360 CAM) I see it is asking for a Z30 move BEFORE applying the tool offset !
Surely that is a crap error - the previous tool was shorter than the spot drill and the height it was heading for was correct for that tool of course but put the longer spot drill in and - snap.
Just so i know where to head, is this a Fusion 360CAM error, post error or just me being a twat ( I doubt it this time though )
Surely it MUST apply tool offset before commanding ANY Z axis move?
