Gentlemen:
I am have been at this for a while but the wall is not getting any softer.
I am trying to machine the highlited areas in the attached image, but am unable to devise a boundary that will limit the tool path to these areas. The rings are fixtured on posts in the orientation shown. The horizontal surfaces are finished and the part is clamped by a cap that covers the horizontal surface of the ring, so I need a tool path that will only cut the sides, and not top surfaces or the ID.
The parts will be machined down to the equator and then flipped over for the second side.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Glenn
