What suggestions do you...

CNC Programming Handbook by Peter Smid. It has very good text and examples.
Looks like Mach 3 is used by many of the not-quite-production crew. (No offense intended!)

Which process would be best suited to do the 45 degree angles of a v-block? It is already roughed out, just need a finish path with a 1/4 ballnose endmill.

Looks like the machine was on or very close to the Z soft limit but wasn't throwing an error.

Changed my style of doing things and it seems to be working.


I started completely over with the...

Do the chips have a place to evacuate?
