Hi all,
Noob, here. Having problems with finishing Z depth. The finishing bit rarely cleans up the surface left by the roughing pass. Below are my settings / setup.
Safe Z at .2
Z touch-off point = thickness of a piece of paper. I slid the a sheet of paper beneath the bit. As soon as I couldn't pull the paper out, I hit touch off. (too thick?)
Stepover: ball nose: .0125 @ 10%
Thanks!
Z Depth

Re: Z Depth
What do you have the Machining Allowance on the roughing toolpath set to and what tool are you using for roughing?
Are you setting the z-zero on the same untouched piece of material for both toolpaths?
