Hard to come up with a good title for this one, thats the best I could do.
This one is driving me insane. Fought it years ago. Never did figure it out, gave up.
Anyways: simple side operation driven by an open curve.
Two rough passes, one finish pass. I am keeping the tool down between all passes.
But, I can't for the life of me get it to rapid back to the start of the next pass.
It returns at the same feed-rate it cuts. Tired if editing this damn program! (12 parts on the table)
I can't bi-direction rough (in the Brother). The tool has to climb (gets real grumpy conventional).
The only variable I can find that looks like it should affect this situation is "Min Rapid Distance %" in the milling tab.
But, it has zero effect on anything.
I am probably missing something stupid that has eluded me for 11 years! And, I am going to kick myself like an idiot when I figure it out.
I almost always am able to figure this shit out. But CRAP, I just can't win with this one!
