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? Dave On 9/18/22 12:18 PM, Nicklas SB

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

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

When using an adaptive/high speed machining tool path, make sure that the minimum radius for movement of the tool is a reasonable number (10% or more of the tool dia.). When doing the final clearing pass you can also use plunge roughing at the corners if you cannot go to a significantly
