You need the Polar & Cylindrical Milling (Rotary Mill) option and the rotary mill post.
What about using the "wrap" button to wrap the geometry around the stock?
You don't need to view geometry as wrapped to machine it in rotary mill mode. The workgroup containing the geometry must be set as Wrapped, and Polar & Cylindrical Milling must be checked in the Rotate tab.
I got the toolpath and the engraving work on the machine. but 1 problem that all the wording is backward. When i cut part rendering, everything look the way it supose to be. but when i tried to run on machine, everything is oposite. What did i do wrong? Thanks guys
Is the rotary axis direction going the correct way in the rotary axis setup page?
I think the set up is corrected. I enclosed the file i want to engrave. Thanks for your help
I believe cadman is correct. You have your rotary defined in the wrong direction. See screenshot attached.
