4th axis rotation
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2017 7:13 am
Greetings All,
This may be something very simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. I am using VCarve Pro 9 on a CNC Shark HD4 with a rotary axis. I have to do some machining on a piece of round stock. I've created the rounding toolpath, and toolpaths for the 4 remaining operations. One of them is drilling a series of holes on one side of the piece then machining the whole length on the other side. What I need to do is to rotate the piece 180 degrees, drill my holes, then rotate back to the starting point to finish the machining. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob Pastor
