I wanted to ask some of you a simple question about Pockets and cleaning them in your CAD files.
What i'm doing is milling a radius pocket part way down but in my CAD it leaves a bit of left over stock where the cutter simulation doesn't clean up.
This might not even exist in the real world when the program runs but I like to do everything i can to make a simulation look like the reality before I run a program.
Now I already figured ill just run a simple sweep of the same geometry with a regular old profiling operation to get the residual stuff out of the way before I run my pocket op.
(the pocket isnt closed so its easy to mill out)
I honestly just wanna ask what other Cad/Cam users do in a situation when the pathing leaves a little left over?
Just hoping to learn any tips or tricks
Thanks in advance everyone!!
(I use BobCad V27 nothing fancy it gets the job done though)
