1: way of thinking being flat is clears bottom say like end mill giving cleaner base
2: does it need to step down like this to get the correct angle along outline of operation
3: even if you change max depth to 1 mm it still steps down
4: wall step in at a 6mm cut , i get flute length says 2.4mm , but if you preview the 90 deg v with a point which is 3mm length it has a smooth wall edge
because the is no tip and it is flat , my thinking is it needs to go 0.6mm to achieve the final outcome but shouldnât effect the edge
or is it like a pocket operation and than a profile cut last
lastly if it is correct what is the depth of that step down in preview is it the 0.6mm missing from the point
cheers Colin for taking look , could it have something to do with final depth on operation tab not syncing with limit max depth in tool operation window , i noted this in rc 3 also , contacted support about it, or does max limit over ride final depth? , it is only V carve where they dont sync , pocket and profile sync, havenât tested other operations
just remembered there is another file i set up few weeks ago think in rc2 where it appeared to step past the final design line in preview and not looking right , ill see if i saved that file of just trashed it and send it to you
This is a pretty straightforward bug in the handling of flat-tipped V bits. I was using the wrong value to account for the shortening of the bit by the tip diameter.
Final Depth is âmake this operation go this deep.â With a V-carve there is no âFinal Depthâ - We canât know what it will be until we process the geometry.
Max Depth is a limit, not a guarantee itâll get that far, so theyâre different properties, and Max Depth is counted from the Start Depth, so if you start at 5mm deep, and have âMax Depthâ set to 5, itâll max out at 10mm.
