Applying Tool Paths in OneCNC Mill Expert - CAM Training 1
In this training video, we will start applying tool paths to our part using OneCNC Mill Expert. Follow along as we move the part, create stock, and apply our first tool paths.
Key Topics Covered:
Moving the Part in the Z-Axis:
Moving the part so the top of the bosses are at Z0.
Using the move command with incremental input values.
Verifying the new Z0 position with verify tools.
Defining Stock:
Creating wireframe stock to confine tool paths.
Creating a solid model for stock used in tool path simulation.
Moving the stock to allow for a facing operation.
Performing a Facing Operation:
Selecting a tool from the tool library.
Adjusting spindle speed, feed rate, and other tool parameters.
Setting clearances and depths for the facing operation.
Generating and simulating the facing tool path.
Rough Machining with Z-Level Rough:
Manually creating a tool and setting parameters.
Choosing machining styles and approach methods.
Setting tool stepover amounts and depth of cut.
Selecting boundaries and constraining tool paths.
Generating and simulating the Z-level rough tool path.
