I've been programing our 5 axis machine for about 4 months now (been programing with Mastercam for about 4 years), and I've seen a lot of videos of people machine a part complete, with the exception of the final bottom of the part where they machine away everything but a few little tabs to pull the part off (to either face down that side as a final op or just massage them off by hand).
Some examples:
5th Axis on Instagram: “c l e a n // @amt_machine #cnc #cncporn #runcnc #5thaxis #5axis #instamachinist #milling #machined #billetisbetter #engineering #cad #cam…”
Sam Tait on Instagram: “Drew up and machined this aluminium elbow for a turbo outlet today #cnc #machinist #instamachinist #engineering #designer #cadcam #5axis…”
Fil D on Instagram: “ holding on by less then .02 #matsuura #5thaxis #cnc #cncporn #machining #machinist #tablife #camplete @camplete @5thaxis @matsuurausa”
Is anyone familiar with this method? There doesn't seem to be a lot out there on how to do this, like how to program the final cuts, since I presume you want to cut back and forth to prevent the part from vibrating into the tool, and also how to approach these (ramp milling vs step down etc). Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
