Hello Forum,
This is a two part question and I hope I can ask so you all can understand. I have searched the forum, but am not sure how this problem would be explained, so I hope I am not asking again. I have a pocket situation that goes like this;
Picture a rectangle say with half .2 deep, with the remaining .4 deep. Within this .4 section of rectangle, I have a pocket .1 from the edge that extends through all. The problem I am having is getting Mastercam to completely pocket the .4 area ignoring the through pocket. It wants to cut around the through pocket leaving the .1 lip on the opposite side. I am using a .25" router bit and would like to cut this .1 lip. Is that even possible to cut a "ledge" that is smaller than the bit?
Question #1 - OR -
Is there a way to ignore a previous cut? I have always had this problem with holes. Although in a preceding toolpath step, I cut the holes, Mastercam pretends they are still uncut and cuts around them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts!
Thank you in advance,
Wayja
