Machining aluminum
5" x 5" Block by 1.0" thick Aluminum Material Stock
2.0" diameter x .5" high circle centered on block
I am using VCarve Pro 10.507
1) What program do you use for cutting aluminum parts?
2) If you use VCarve Pro or Aspire how are you programing something like this?
Reason for asking I have found that the pocketing toolpath only works from inside out on a Offset Climb or Conventional Cut Direction.
I am looking for something that works on 5 by 5 block taking little off at a time on each stepover starting from outside working in to 2" diameter circle.
I know you cut aluminum a lot so thought of you (sorry to say ) when problem arose with VCarve Direction (inside to outside versus outside to inside).
