Pocketing Wizards Fin Pass
« on: August 15, 2008, 07:57:46 AM »
Hello,
 Is there anything in the works for a optional finish pass for pocketing wizards?And also for Circle mill,Cut Rectangle.
Example...Option to have a Finish pass on sides and depth,or Sides & no fin depth,or viseversa.
Its on our "industrial" mill here and works very nice.
Thanks,
Troy

There are no plans to make any major wizard changes.

 However, you can do what you want with the current wizards rather easily.

Remember, the wizards are meant to be used in a series to make more complex parts. First use the pocket wizard,  but specify a Pocket diameter smaller than you want by the amount of the finish cut. Then use a cut circle wizard to cut a final size circle. For finish on the bottom of the cut you could make the second finish pocket to full depth, and specify just one cut of the full depth.

The rectangle pocket does have a finish cut setting and will generate correct finish cuts.

This is not quite a simple as one wizard that deos it all , but it works.
