Hello
I am new to the programming with the multi axes functions... I would need your help!
In my case I want to mill a propeller with a 4th axes and I have selected the function “Rotation”.
It all worked well but I would like to rough it beforehand with an end mill because I can’t immediately take off the whole material with a ball cutter. However the function “Rotation” only supports one ball cutter.
Can anybody help me and tell me what function I can use for the roughing process?
Appreciate any kind of help!
Kind regards
Fabian

Well I would pre-rough with a milling head over OptiRough- first the standard job and then 3+2 with the residual material with the rougher over the Z constant for example, or contour... you have to have a look...

Many thanks for your help
I have tried out the Optirough function already but I did not manage to program the rotational axis (4th axis) . There is the setting “rotation type” but it did not work with that.
With the 3+2 can I also only take one ball cutter, can’t I?
Kind regards
