The Son (newly minted graduate)is giving it a go in job-shopping. The short of this is,
stainless 316 part. Done in Solidworks w/ HSMWorks CAM.
Ran first 2 operations.... X is .005 too wide. Y is .0025 too wide. Running a 98 Haas VF/4 we rebuilt.
He USed a lot of HSM CAM features. Adaptive clearing, Tooling radius is set via CAM gCode, Stock settings etc. He has checked and rechecked all his work. Measured w/ 2 different setups. it's off.
He's done ALu-6061 before and our smaller test blocks are all spot on. He thinks its the machine and I think it's all the elaborate CAM.
While this could be any number of things... I get that. Wondered what some of the Brass here might think as a top one or two things to check/try...
He is going to recut his ALU part again tomorrow as a test.
