    Need help roughing/milling.

    Hi, can't figure out how to mill this part out from the stock. It keeps milling on the side a little. If i try to change mill type and stuff edgecam does not mill the "pocket". It's a vertical cnc machine. I get it to work fine with a 8mm mill but not a 10mm which i want to use for stability and stuff.

    Thanks in advanced.

    Meybe the lead in/lead out moves are causing the problem, check it out. A proper toolpath should never engage into the model of the part...
    Have a great day - Adam
