Hi,
Attached is a crude wheel hub. I was using it to experiment with SprutCAM 4th axis. I managed to get all the spoke holes drilled easily enough using transformations. But I have two problems.
1) Despite reviewing the Sprut 4th axis tutorial, I can't get the center slot cut. The green area are two selected faces, per the tutorial. And I have told it rotary machining. But look at the toolpaths--way off. It's not really rotary either. It's cutting one half, then rotary 180 to the other half. Not spinning round like the tutorial does. What have I missed?
2) I have no idea what to use for the gear-like details around each side. What operations should I use? I tried pocketing and waterline, both were ugly.
Thanks,
Dave
