    Hello,

    I have the following problem: I have to mill a hexagon with a wrench size of 46mm. That, so far is not a problem; however my hexagon has many different long surfaces!! What could be the reason for this?
    The machine is a Maho MH 500 with 432 controller.
    Can anybody help me?

    Thank you

    Regards Til

    Hello Chopper87
    How does your program look like? And where is the neutral point?
    There are several ways to mill a hexagon.

    Hello
    To mill a hexagon there are a few good and cheap software available to calculate it.
    e.g. Geometrix
