Vertical Finishing at Angle 0.0

Top  Previous  Next

Using the MCADTPC.dwg file, select the XNURBS_CUT-ZIGZAG_XZ Cycle.

Select Slice Settings to be sure the Slice Vertical Angle is set to 0.0.

 

NurbsXZ_Angle0_Main

Press the Cut Button.

 

The output of these settings should produce a tool path like this:

 

Nurbs_039

 

 

The settings used are finishing settings.  There is no Stock Allowance used.  There are no roughing passes, lead-in, or lead-out.  Also Containment and Recutting are turned off.  Each of those setting will be explained, just a little bit later in this document.

 

The main purpose here is that you understand how the XZ slice creates a basic tool path in the X and Z direction with step over in the Y.
