    Unhappy Question on Surface Finish Parallel

    Hi,

    I'm a beginner in using the CNC and I'm trying to mill a test piece of a non round ceiling medallions on the Haas. I'm having some issue when trying to programmed it in MasterCAM X and you can look at the attachment on the part that I'm working on and the question that I have.

    It would be great if anyone can provide any feedback on how to do so.

    Thanks and really appreciate it.
    Ernest

    Hi, all I can think about is re-chaining , maybe defining a start point or try 'waterline' ... and that's all that comes to mind right now .

    Did you try changing the cut angle by 90 degrees?

    Scallop will do it the way you wish. It's a finishing path.
