indeen! Spiral out from center going as deep as possible and constand
radial engagement. When that is exhausted them
try same idea on the triangular remanents. Then go back and test that
against Jon Elson's code. Machining is an experimental science. Eh?

I was not thinking to much about the corner. If machining with for
example 50% tool engagement then end is reached machining at 90
degrees into material and tool engagement increase to 100% before next
pass. An alternative would for example be to machine into material
with an angle.
For the first pass tool engagement will always be 100% so maybe start
in the middle spiraling outwards is a good choice to keep tool
engagement at the desired value is a good choice?

Hi Nicklas,
Just a WAG, offset cutter maybe .25 mm from real corner and plunge
then clean up in incrementally with a couple of passes to clean out
the wings. I think most cam programs just take light passes including
the finish pass.
How stiff the spindle is and sharpness of the cutter are still
critical. Slowing feed on final pass should also help.
Another approach might be to use a roughing cutter of the equal to
the final radius and mill out as much as you can without overcutting
then clean up with a regular end mil. Unless you have a really tight
machine your plunge cut and final pass will not be equal. Don't ask
me how I know. ;-)
This advice. is of course, worth about what you paid for it.

Then pocket milling with tool engagement less than tool diameter for
some patterns tool engagement increase to tool diameter in the
corners or ends. Anybody have anyone have any experience or
knowledge how to handle this situation?
