OneCNCXR8 Release 63.24

This release has new features as well as updates and fixes from reports.

In this release we have included new settings into the following functions.

This is to especially assist the users that need to use a larger tip radius tool than the depth of tool path.

In simple terms use the vertical setting wherever the tool diameter should not go outside the selected boundary.

Stock Toolpaths

Mill Profile  roughing and finishing

Mill Pocketing roughing and finishing

Clean Circle roughing and finishing

What do these new settings do.

Vertical Setting

Controls the  tool to the diameter edge of the tool

Tip Setting

The tip radius of the tool

What is it used for:

This allows users to use tools with a "tip radius greater than the depth of the tool path" and having control of the tool edge to the diameter of the tool or the tip radius to the edge.

This provides for the situations where using the tip to the edge can cause the diameter of the tool to be outside the boundary edge.

This graphis shows the tool tip to the boundary edge

You will note that in this situation the tool diameter is outside the boundary if the tip radius is greater than the depth.

This graphic shows the dialog settings set to the tip

This graphic shows in more detail the setting set to the tip

This graphic shows the tool using the vertical setting

You will note that this setting using a tool with a larger tip radius than the depth the tip does not reach the boundary.

This graphic shows the dialog settings set to the vertical setting

This graphic shows the tool using the vertical setting in greater detail

You will note that this setting using a tool with a larger tip radius than the depth the tip does not reach the boundary and the tool diameter does not go over the boundary.

NOTE.
Using these new settings in certain cases if a user is using a larger tip radius than the toolpath depth the user will still get a message to check the simulation because simulation checking is always important. In those situations it is just a reminder to the user to check simulation.
