    <title>tema Haas UMC750 cutting side feature profile by rotating C axis en FeatureCAM Forum</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;We have a Haas UMC750 and need to profile around a larger rectangular part where we can only get around the part by rotating the C axis and moving X back and forth, and keeping the Y axis at zero. Something like polar milling or cylindrical milling comes to mind, want to do it with a side feature. Any ideas how to do this in Featurecam?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The attached file has a curve with a small gap at the left end to control the start location, the small gap will not create a problem on the finished part.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Jeff&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It can be done - i've done it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had a 3 axis VMC with a 4th axis (standard setup - around X)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I turned the axis on it's ass - had the chuck vertical - had the axis rotate around Z&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Had the Y locked and everything done via polar co ords because part was out of machine limits in Y&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(Machined everything CCW to avoid b/lash)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was machining 18" dia parts with a Y axis of 14"&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Needed a custom post though (got one, but it's Siemens 810).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had the boys at Indiecam (UK) sort me out a post. Stuart at indiecam is the best post writer i've ever met, no nepotism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm aware that vertical turn/mill will allow you to 4th axis rotary as a 3D finish option, but it will set the tool perpendicular to the surface - pointless for your application.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I guess i'm confirming it's a custom post you need.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That said, if anybody can sort J's problem by features alone................speak up!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;M.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have your part along Y-axis can you then make it?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you,&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks but the part is wider and longer than the Y axis travel so the only way to mill around the profile is to rotate the C axis. Surface mill will rotate C only if the cutter is at an angle other than 90° to the table. In this case we want the cutter to be square with the table and spin the C axis to go around the part. Was thinking about putting a very small angle and using surface milling and that would force it to rotate C, but was hoping for a 'proper' solution.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Would prefer to use a side mill operation but the options for 5 axis settings don't keep the cutter in one place and let the part spin. It has orientation angle but that still locks the C axis at a specific angle and the cutter still drives around the part. We do this type of milling on our mill-turn machine but can't figure out how on the Haas UMC750.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks again,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Jeff&lt;/P&gt;</description>
