Reverse Run Command

[blfuller123]

I have been cutting a lot of foam and I am using 2 separate tool paths for each cut. To get the best cuts, I have found that if I reverse the second tool path in Mach 3 (been using the second tool path at full depth) after the initial cut is done it comes out great. I tried running a second conventional tool path and the finish isn't as good as reversing the tool path.

My question is, is there away for me to add a command at the end of a tool path to reverse the tool path at full depth?

Just run a second toolpath using 'climb' mode instead of 'conventional'. It will run in the opposite direction as your first cut. Then you can set the depth, speed, etc independently of your first cut.

Would the Last Pass option in the Profile toolpath give you the result you are looking for?

It has the option to reverse the final pass cut direction as you skim off a thin layer from the material edge of your part.
