Hi, bringing back Pro Practices questions.
is there a way to Radius On / Radius Off when profiling, or doing walls of pockets and such? maybe even on v-carve.
it’s a very simple principle, but say you’re wanting to do your cleanup finishing pass around the outside of your workpiece. instead of plunging and then cutting around, or spiraling, or zigzag, it’s ideal to move your Cutter to the full pass depth off the part and then using a radius to swing onto the part, tangent to the final cut, and then off the part to prevent stalling and spring back that leaves a vertical mark where the cutter might rub or even cut. it’s got the benefit of leaving better surface finish and extending tool life.
Normal on the left | Radius On/Off on the right (the would cross over each other, but i drew it like this for clarity)
