A few beginner questions reg 4th axis function
Hi guys.
- The 25mm 3.175 1/8 does the job well on the 4th axis but of course the surface is left unfinished. I tried to use the flute 30 degrees but what I see T least is that the bit does not even touch the surface of the wood. The step down is deactivated and nothing.
I was thinking maybe use somehow the 3.175 roughing to finish also? Have any idea how I decrease the step between runs to make the surface even smoother?
-
The flute 39 degrees 0.2 mentioned above, when used after roughing, touches with the upper edge the unlect cut wood and I almost lost the bit. I did add supports to the left and right of the wood part. That's the critical issue with the finishing paths.
-
Is there an option to leave the lateral supporta unfinished and finish just the main part ?
-
When changing the bits, I saw the machine does not make the button probe check again. Maybe that's why the 0.2 does not touch the surface when finishing the wood part? I did uncheck the origin check for the finishing stage.
Thank you.
