I see your screen shot... that is exactly what I am trying to accomplish. I tried setting the angle to .1 and .01. The tool paths were a single MC run. I'll...
Daniel, You might just have caught a bug. When I tried a 2 degree draft angle with 6901 I got the same failure as you, my previous screen shot had a 20 degree...

Preston, What type of end mill are you specifying? A ball end mill has to have a finish path just like you describe. Try again with a straight end mill. MC...
I had the same problem when I started to use meshcam, but it was all because of wrong setup on my part. I was doing a fictive setup with tools that I didnt...
Hi Jeff and thanks for the quick answer...yes, ball mill. If I want the bottom to have a radius like a ball end mill would produce, how would one do that???...
Kim and Preston, I've been using MC in a production environment for over 3 years, and almost always using the latest beta version. Other than the very rare...
Preston, With a ball mill your top corners will be sharp, the bottom will have the radius of the mill. You can model the radius in CAD but it's not needed. I...
