When I create a pocket with a 1/8" endmill my hope was I could use a ball nose endmill to clean up the pocket where the 1/8" bit couldn’t get.
What I get when I try this operation is a simulated result that looks like this, it looks to just be doing the rest operation around the edge not cleaning up the untouched areas.
Maybe its a setting I missed or misunderstanding.
2. Rest Pocket Operation:
. A smaller tool is then used, but instead of milling the entire area again, it focuses on the areas that were not reached by the larger tool during the initial Pocket operation.
Ergo: A 1/8" tool followed by a 1/8" tool accomplishes nothing. Start with a 1/4" tool, then the Rest operation with the 1/8" tool.
The rough pass was done with a 1/8” endmill and the finish pass was done using a 1/8” tapered ball nose bit so it’s a much smaller profile bit.
Tool diameter or shaft diameter? Your machine take a 1/4" tool shaft?
have you actually run the job , did it leave the pieces ?
i get similar thing in my preview , but its without using and outline pass on the pocket it click outline pass it seems to pocket all pieces in preview i havent cut my job.
have sent job file to one of the techs to look at
I’m wondering if its just a preview thing
