Re: 4 AXIS TOOL PATH NEVER TOUCHES PART
Hello JC,
I did call you today but it went to voice mail that wasn't set up ( you sound like me)...
Based on your file it's not clear to me the issue you are having.
1- Your machine setup location is on center line for the part correct?
2 - On your Rotary toolpath did you plan on using an endmill or ball end mill?
3- Have you run the part or just looked at simulations?

You'll notice the toolpath isn't displayed directly on the part, due to the compensation of the cutter. Tool is being driven by the center of tool and the tip of the tool.
