I have a CNC with a rotary. I have tried several different ways with indexing, but as I rotate it the animation gets slower and slower and then finally stops.
Would I use the lath path? I tried roughing it on 4 sides and that eats away alot of material, but I have no idea how to finish it.
If I do a series of Rough/Index operations with an index of 90 degrees with a 1/16 end mill I think the animate will finish. If I try to index it in 45 degree increments the animation locks up.
What type of tool would I use for the lath operation?
degrees rotation around A which is effectively the radial “resolution” of the computed path. step over is the X resolution of the path.
indexed animation is computationally expensive and I haven’t figured out a way to do it more faster. so it’s prone to running really slowly. or it could lock up if it runs out of memory.
I am having an issue with the Animation. I added a lath operation after my roughing operations and the animation hangs after 60.2% complete. Can you try it there when you get a chance? I tried to upload my ,kmz, but I got an error saying new users can’t upload files.
