Hi all,
I had the most unusual thing happen when machining a component on the weekend. The last operation on this job was to run around and cut some chamfers, on one of the end profiles the cutter simply turned off the intended path and through he job!! Watching it back with both back plotting, and verification on Mastercam, all seemed normal. I've never seen this before, I changed the starting point, some small changes to the profile, still the same. It wasn't until I split the large arc into two pieces that it worked normally. This has really spooked me now, any body seen anything like this before?
This the first time I've attached a pic, so hopefully it worked. It shows the profile, as the tool reached the large arc, it ignored it and ran through to other side of profile
