Hi All,
Just purchased vcarvepro and have tried a basic text program.
Background I have setup a new ball endmill, with federate of 10 and a plunge of 2.5 with the depth of cut 0.01.
Write the text, setup the z1 clearance to 0.5 and the plunge z2 at 0.5.
Select tool, create tool path etc.
The issue that I have is that the code created takes the bit from z 0.5 at the rate of 2.5 to z0.00 but then does the plunge to z-0.01 happens at the rapid rate of 10.
I have tried 0.0 in z2 parameter box and still no joy, even if I say put 0.2 in it still does a rapid plunge.
I have checked the forums.... I presume I am making some basic mistake but i have spent a few hours on it and can't get it to work.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Adrian
