Mill Conversational Facing and Pocket Wizards

Hi All

I think there may be an issue with the above. I am using the latest 4.02B but have seen the same with 4.0 and 4.01

When you set Z start and Z end, depth of cut has some odd behaviour under certain situations.

If depth of cut is less than difference Z start and end then all seem OK

If depth of cut equals difference Z start and end then two complete passes occur at end depth

If depth of cut is greater than difference Z start and end then a pass takes place at depth of cut (ie deeper than Z end) then a second pass goes back up to Z end

I think his accounts for some deeper cuts I have seen when taking a light cut on a sacrificial plate, reverting to my CAD/CAM program for the task works fine

I have start a new wizard each time and deleted previous files so as to rule out picking up two operations

Hope this is not a senior moment

David,

Thanks for pointing this out, I have tested this on both G2 & G3 units and the wizard is not testing if the depth of cut will fit in between Z start and Z end.

Have passed this on the to the software writers to fix.

Regards,

Arie.

David,

This is finally fixed in both G2 & G3 beta versions of software.

G2 has been released and is available via myWorkshop and G3 will released in the next day or two.

Regards,

Arie.
