Thomas,
On the final pass change the Approach Style to Radial and enter an appropriate ramp on/off radius. This method will also provide better results on this type of part.

Yes it did fine in simulate when I used the radius but I do not like the plunge it has to do into 1/2" of uncut stock to get to the proper depth before the radius in.

Thomas,
See this file..you can use radial approach. If you sketch a start point, you can force it to plunge into an area that does not have stock left..
Ramp boundary is really not for a part like this..as it ramps to depth and then returns to the start of the ramp..so what ever was under the "ramp area" does not get cut...(Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my own and are not necessarily those of CNCzone and its management)

OK, thanks, I will try this when I get home. Originally Posted by wms
