    Whats the best set of strategies to machine this part?

    This is my first actually part using the 3-D Toolpaths and would like for someone who is more experienced to take a look at it and offer suggestions. My part turned out fine, but being my first part I just wonder if I went about it the best way.

    A little background, this is the second operation I have already profiled it and it has a slug on top where I held it in the vise. I am using V27 3 Axis Pro.

    If anybody has any Ideas and wants to program it and post a file that I could look at that would be great. Thanks

    I haven't had any luck opening the file. v27 gives me a "Machine does not exist" error, then crashes. Anyone else having this problem, or is it something I'm doing wrong?

    You probably do not have as recent of Build number as the OP.

    Yeah, that's probably it. I got it fairly early and never signed up for software updates. Thanks!
