I am having a serious problem with aspire trying to do tool paths. I am using a 1/8 bit to cut out an interior part. Everything is great ,all vectors highlight etc. When I go to calculate it gives the following:
"NO TOOL PATH GENERATED FOR CURRENT PARAMETERS. CHECK TOOL CAN FIT INTO SELECTED VECTORS AT MACHINING DEPTH. I am cutting a piece of 1/4" plywood a depth of .255'
My tool info reads as follows Diameter 0.125 cutting parameters pass depth 0.125 inch step over 0.05 inches 40.0 % spindle speed 12000 feed rate 100.0 plunge rate 30.0
Any idea why this is happening? I have used these settings for other jobs and had no problems.
Help please Jimbob in Pensacola

Re: tool path problem
Any chance you can post the file? What kind of tool path are you trying to create? Profile or pocket or something else?
Re: tool path problem
Your cutter is probably to big to fit into the area your trying to cut. Specify a smaller dia. cutter and see if it will cut.
