Hi,

I am relatively new to EdgeCAM, is there a defined readius cutter in EdgeCAM?

Thanks.

what type of radius cutter? they have bullnose endmills already included in the toolstore. If you want a corner rounding endmill then you will have to make it in the toolstore> Under tooling on the Geometry tab there is a small EdgeCAM icon on the lower right hand side> hit this and it will fire up a session of EC that you can draw the endmill.
Also, you can draw it in Inventor (or any solid program) as well. Just save it as an STL and you can browse to it from the Geometry tab as well. Just have it in the correct orientation on the solid side.

I meant corner rounding, could you possibly post an example as a file? I tried both ways but couldn't succeed. I just need one example to understand. Edgecam is the first cam software I have ever used and I am trying to learn it all by myself here in our company and it is very time consuming and frustrating to accomplish things just from instructions. An example file would be wonderful.

Thank you.

I think I got it... The only thing is, although I drawed the radius using radius, simulator approximates it as three straight lines. Is this normal? Is there a workaround for this?

BTW, thanks for guiding me, I could never have figured this out by myself.
