    <description>&lt;P&gt;Any idea on how to machine the center "slot" of this half sphere?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have tried a few different 3D / 5-axis toolpaths to some success, but I was wondering if there was a simpler way to do it?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am playing with the Multi Axis Extension for another week while I still have the trial and wanted to test out some simple things, to see how I could incorporate it into more intricate jobs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I used a 2D roughing operation to clear the bulk (assuming it will be cut from a square stock) and then used a 3D spiral with a ball to get the outer sphere shape, I just need help with the center slot. It does not need to be perfect.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Right now, I am not worried about tool/holder collision with the base stock. I am just looking for the appropriate way to machine this. I will deal with stock/collision stuff when it comes to the actual machining.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you in advance!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot 2024-08-23 124825.png" style="width: 848px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1401468iF7AE0A83DE8DF967/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2024-08-23 124825.png" alt="Screenshot 2024-08-23 124825.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If you have a 5 axis machine I would use a swarf toolpath on the slot walls.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;A multi axis toolpath with a "to point" (center of sphere) direction comes to mind, as well as the advanced swarf like your wavey flag.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
