Re: Finishing pass for contour

Thanks for your answers. I understand I'll have to create an additional G-code for finishing. Your comments made me realize that the finishing pass I had learned in the 60's was done with a straight-cut bit. The only straight-cut bits I see for CNC are one-flute. I really have to forget some of the ...

Re: Finishing pass for contour

Well, that's more or less what I thought first; however, as I said, it's error-prone. That would mean first offsetting the contour operation. I would need to enter a tool diameter larger than the actual by let's say 0.1mm, which is the first source of potential error, unless there is a command that ...

Finishing pass for contour

Hi, this is not a specific SheetCam question, but I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Having been formally trained on the lathe and mill, I would like to make a finishing pass when cutting the external contour of a piece. That means that there would be a normal contour operation with...

Re: Noob already has two questions...

I answered your post as soon as I read it, to thank you for the min/max hole thing, and confirm that language works now, only after a restart. For some reason it appears my answer is not visible...

Re: Noob already has two questions...

Thanks for your prompt answer. I didn't figure out changing language implied restating the app, but now it's good.
Setting teh proper min and max for the drills solve the issue.
So far so good.
Now, milling...

Noob already has two questions...

Hi, I'm new here, usually use either Cambam, Lazycam or Heeks, but actually evaluating Sheetcam. I have two concerns: One is that, although I have specified english as the default language, everything is in french.
