X2 file
Hi guys, I'm currently completing my third year CNC Machinist program at our local Pollytech school. I'm attempting to project some lettering on a surface for engraving.
Here's the issue, the projected tool path does not follow the surface, as if the radius of the tool path was larger than the radius of the surface.
The surface is a 10 inch dia disk by .950 thick oriented about the Y axis and the projected tool path appears to be on an 11 inch dia. arc.
My instructor is no help as he is a CNC machinist instructor and teaches only basic 2 1/2 D tool path and geo creation as part of the course (I'm working above the class in this area and just trying to challange my skills)
So find attached the surface and lettering X2 file. I'm fairly well versed in MC but for the life of me ...............
Thanks for your assistance.
