Round over bit settings

[wanderingtruckie (terry - oval lane creations)]

setting up a round over bit 1st time ever, not sureif im it doing wrong but its diving deeper than i would expect

ROUND OVER TEST.mage (21.4 KB)

1: i would assume it would be a chamfer operation , as they do same job one rounded ones angled

with chamfer operation it wont allow me to select a round over bit

2: using profile even set at .5mm dept. it buries its self 4-5 mm in to project when you would expect it to not even touch surface

even final depth of zero it burieses itself

the main pocket is 3mm

I haven’t tried that myself, but trying to help

Did you probe your tool length after changing from the flat endmill to the round-over one?

I stumbled here, because the Tool in the project file you sent uses a different Tip Lenght. Did you change this after you took your screenshot, or did it get scrambled somewhere else?

@wanderingtruckie

profile even set at .5mm dept. it buries its self 4-5 mm in to project when you would expect it to not even touch surface

Why would you expect it to not even touch the surface?
At 0.5mm Final Depth, the Preview looks exactly as expected to me:

With a Depth of 3mm, we get nice chamfers:

I missed this part. It’s true that the Chamfer operation only works with V-Shaped bits.
Doing the same movement with a round-over bit would technically work, but would be called a Fillet instead.

hey Arron , you guys always helpful :),

yeah might sent wrong file , i was changing everything trying to make sense of it , all my previews looked the way they should of also. every tool change gets probed

Im now thinking below issues are related which happened after this issue, where tool did opposite and wouldn’t even touch material

Operations not updating

when do signs I will type some words set a tool and operation do a test , than copy text, set a dif operation and toolpath and do this multiple times till i find what i like with pervious RCs it has worked sweet now in RC 10 every time i copy text and add new operation i have to save and restart MM for operation to work this one green registered path and ran job, but when running wouldn’t lower to material. after saving , restarting MM it cut sweet as [we] test dojo oath.mage (1.6 MB)

I just left a note on that other thread. It does sound related.

Both indicate that your Z-Offset are not set correctly.

Are you using the Preview feature (Alt + P) to verify that your Operations are doing what you expect?

[wanderingtruckie (terry - oval lane creations)]

yeah just seen that , yeah that makes sense re offsets, looking from my side its like there is a lag or stutter to fluid nc or autosave now in RC10,

i have list of processes which are done in same order for every job so i don’t confuse myself ( recovering from head injury) and when issues appear , i can work backwards to try work out where it is happening.

also after update , fetch config on connect and has tool length probe were reverted back to off, re enabled then
possibly MM and my cnc fighting now.

Ill do what i normally do when an issue arises, roll back to last good working RC and run job

yip always use preview. every time, i create an operation before creating next operation to make sure it looks right i dissect everything , and will spend hrs going over and over b4 creating topic here
