I am doing a surface finish parallel and it works fine with no filtering, but when I apply the filter its has some issues.
I have made eleven of these pockets already with no problems, just a slow tool path. Without filtering it runs at about 5 IPM even when the feed rate is 18 IPM, it is doing a lot of processing so I think that is what is slowing it down. When I apply a filter it runs at 18 IPM which is nice, but when it actually cuts the part it has steps in the pocket. The graphics path looks perfect, but the actually cuts have a steps in it.
I don't mean feed lines, its a .01 step (think a smaller dia rod) that carries on for about .08 to .100. In the length of the part it made about 5 or 6 steps at random intervals. I tried playing around with the filtering settings to no avail, I am not very familiar with filtering as of yet. If some one knows a lot about it and could enlighten me it would be great.
I have attached a pic of the verified pic for you to look at, although it looks fine. I can ZIP the MCAM X file if anyone wants to take a closer look.
