Attached is my workpiece that I am trying to get the tool path set up for. Whenever I compute the tool path the z level is different from the left pocket area from the right pocket area even though its just one tool path. Its acting as though one side is milling down to exact depth while the other is leaving some for a finish pass.
For example the right side toolpath is shown going all the way to the bottom and the left side tool path stops above the surface to be cut.
I tried basic 3d roughing and advanced 3d roughing, they both do the same thing. I would understand it if both sides of the workpiece were doing the same thing(either going to the bottom, or not) but since its one toolpath and they differ from each other, I'm lost as to why.
Hopefully the tools will transfer with the bobcad file, but if it doesnt I was just using a .25 em, not that that should matter.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Keith
