Also, if i did this, i would have my zero in center, and offset Y sthing like i have done here. Makes it way easier to set zero. Z and X zero becomes the highest point on the pipe, and Y becomes whatever measurment you decide. Preferably the length of the cut, and that is sthing you would have to measure in whatever cad software you use.
added a rough pass…will send picture when done…lots of extra time as the stock can not be set to handle round tube…had to make a fake part in Onshape…not sure why wanted to rough out the tube from rectangular stock
trying to figure out why just change the size of end mill I have these results
the 1/4 endmill would be the type of rough operation I would want except I wanted to use the 1/8 endmill. this is why I made the dummy part
I will try your stock offset trick
