    <description>&lt;P&gt;Trying to mill a long groove with a 15 degree taper on each side, and a small radii at the bottom. We seem to be getting the same issue no matter how we try to do it.&amp;nbsp; It will rough to a certain point with a flat em, then stop, which makes sense.&amp;nbsp; It will attempt to finish with the taper but it never goes full depth.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm guessing it has to do with doing it as two sides?&amp;nbsp; I would have assumed a final pass down the center since the taper mill has the same end radius.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The best luck so far has been with draft angles as seen in the attached doc.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have a solid model but surface milling makes a total bodge of it, plus the run time exponentially longer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a better way to do a feature like this?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bruce&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I redefined a tool to match your side wall profile. See if this is what you want?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ok, I can order new tooling yes, I was trying to use what was already ordered by someone else.&amp;nbsp; I think I was more confused as to why a tapered endmill with a more acute angle wouldn't be able to mill this since there would be clearance, as you'd use a radius tool to do a draft angle.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Full disclosure, this is the first time I've used tapered endmills with FC, and I really just assumed there was some setting I was missing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can get it to work if I do each side independently and just constrain its stock, though that seems like the long way around.&amp;nbsp; Plus I had to force it to finish decently with z increment, as I think that "Radius tool scallop height" under finish is ignored by the tapered endmill.&amp;nbsp; I have to do some more testing to see if that holds up.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Either way,&amp;nbsp; I'd still be curious to know the acute angle part of it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bruce&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&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Bruce,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; is the tip of the tool the same or smaller than the bottom of the tapered groove.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;John.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes,&amp;nbsp; the tip is the same size as the bottom of the groove, .0625 in this case. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Actually I changed it a small bit, changed bottom radius to .039 in hopes that might help. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have it to almost finished but no matter what I do I can't get a finish pass to go to the full depth. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wrote a quick program to rough with the 10d taper down to .765 which is almost final depth, .769. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Every finish operation I try doesn't want to go lower than around .695. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
