This seems to add more data so we'll see what happens. One part I'm working on now I turned off the line/arc filter and will just try using smoothing with "shift points randomly along toolpath" checked. I'm just adjusting the sliders up and down. I am using the line/arc filter settings along with smoothing. I machined a mirror image of the part in the pic with the new tooling and everything was great on the entire part besides that one small area. I am using the filters in Mastercam X6 MU3 and I believe this is where some of my trouble is coming from. I checked runout on the semi finish and finish tools and I'm within. I will also work to improve the quality of the surface coming from the semi finish tool. I set everything at 2% and so far so good. I was reading on millstar's site and they suggested using anywhere from 1% to 3% of finish tool diameter for stock to leave. Finish looks great even on all the shallow surfaces. I pitched the four flute tools and got a few 2 flute tools from Prototyp for the softer materials. I'll try out just climb milling on a smaller part and see how she goes. I am using zig zag for the current toolpath. I can never get the pencil paths to do what I'd like maybe I need a bit more training in this area. I'll admit I'm not an uber great programmer for the die/mold stuff so I'll work at it. I'm trying to find a solid middle ground. I do agree that surface finish parallel isn't the best toolpath but gotta stay within budget on programming time and cycle time. What I am after however is a smooth, non sand paper feel. It's not a crazy mold and not a form block in a stamping die. I'm not able to do the finishing after heat treat. I've not been super impressed by its capabilities processing short bits of three axis moves at high speed. Damn thing has a high pitched hum that is getting unbearable. I need to wear ears plugs all day or I go home with a headache. It has a chiller on it but I suspect the spindle is already starting to go. I'm getting a little more heat in the spindle than I'd like during a two to three hour run at 8-9k rpm. Maybe a five axis in the near future but no dice at the moment. Especially for one offs which is what these are. I've considered tipping the parts but on a 3 axis machine it's pretty much a PITA. (I have a Zoller presetter to be setup in a couple weeks to help with this) There seems to just be too much thermal growth going on throughout the day to swap tools in and out and hold everything gnat's ass. I'm not confident in setting my tool heights within a tenth or two. I suppose it could be used in the shallow areas, but I'm trying to use one tool for all finishing to avoid mismatch from tools heights etc.

A few thoughts:Ī bull nose is pretty well out of the question for finishing the entire part. Download File PDF Mastercam X4 Installation Guide In Vertical Mind, Don McGrath and Jeff Elison teach rock climbers how to improve their mental game so they can climb better and have more fun.
