    Side Profile Milling

    Hi,

    We've recently decided that we want to try and mill a side profile with a 32mm Tslot cutter instead of wirecut it as milling would be a lot faster. The problem is that because I'm using the top CPL it can't see the side profile and no matter what I do with it, it just doesnt seem to see that profile. Is there anyway that I can create this toolpath in edgecam for a 3Axis CNC Mill? The idea was basically to do it like I'd do a parallel lace cycle but on XZ instead of XY

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards
    Kris

    Hey. I figured it out.

    I used a profile cycle and just selected undercut option under control and that worked perfectly.
