Hi Everybody,
I attached the 4 rotary axis on my CNC router. Before, on the 3 axis system was easy but now I have some problems.
I'm trying to do a test part to be able to learn new skills. I will attach a picture with my part model.
Doing the finish cut in Mastercam is easy using Rotary 4ax. The problem I am having is I don't see a multiaxis roughing routine and I need to to remove as much stock as I can using a end mil before doing the finish with a ball nose.
Which is the better way to that?
Thank you!

what version are you using?

[zarzavat]

Mastercam 2017

[cadcam]

Then I suggest making a stock model of your stock and use the optirough option and tell it use the Stock model to rough against. you will need to set up a few planes and copy and past and change planes. place to start.

I will try Optirough, also I have some result with Rotary option using Axial cut and leave 15mm stock at the first pass.

[cadcam]

you can do that and then copy for a finish. but remember constant rotary is always going to run slower compared to leaner cuts so on the roughing I will do indexing in most case to rough faster.

[cadcam]

Now if you do 5axis Parallel cuts you can rough it and finish this all on the 4th. it has rough cut options.

I will try this options for sure. They have a lot of values to set but I'm patient. I will post if I have new results.
Thank you for your help.
