Hey all,
I'm a veteran user of Mastercam but something has been eluding me for quite a while now. When using optirough and I have stepups turned on it always retracts in between each stepup. I would like the tool to "spiral" up the part, constantly engaged in material for the stepups. I've seen it done in videos before but for some reason I can't figure out how to do it, I've tried what I think is every combination of parameters for the toolpath and it won't do what I want. I should also note that I am running mastercam 2022.
Here is a link to a video showing what I'm talking about:
Iscar, Mastercam X9 and Brother Speedio S700 X1 - YouTube
If anybody knows how to do this and can tell me what I have to change I would greatly appreciate it.
