Hey everyone,
I hope to make my question into a quick and simple lesson for everyone using this forum.
I have two blocks that need radii machined into their edges. How would you go about programming the CAM to machine such radii? I'm using Mastercam 2017 but feel free to chime in regarding other softwares.
My first guess (limited machining/CAM experience) would be to use a bull/ball end mill to machine such features, using a hybrid 3d approach. Is there a simpler way to do this (e.g. countour function)?
Thanks,
Seth
