5X Swarf on Single profile
Simple strategy - you only need to define the side of toolpath according to the geometry. |
Key Points
|
Technical Reminder about SWARF cutting: Side Wall Axial Relief Feed.
The goal is to produce the target surface with only one cut, using the whole flute length of the tool. The motivation is:
better surface finish quality (without hand finish),
shorter finish cycle time,
full access of machining areas through simultaneous 5 axis vector orientation,
constant cutting conditions (increased material removal, constant (low) cutting force).
