Clearance Height Problem

chrisCFHNJ — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 18:42:18 GMT

For some reason, I can't keep fusion from having the cutter go up way too high when it traverses.

It doesn't make any difference what I have this set on, as far as i can tell:

Here is a link to the file:

The reason this is a problem is that it causes a positive z overtravel. The only way I can get around it is by manually editing the text file after I post!

Any help is appreciated!

This is going to remain the case; you are running a 4" radial and axial offset which is added onto your retracts. A Parallel toolpath isn't intended to be a roughing toolpath like you have it going; could you expand a bit on why you are approaching the part in this fashion?

Set your bottom height to Model Bottom + 4." and set your axial stock to leave to 0. Keep the radial at 4" if this is really how you want to do it, but 3D adaptive or adding some faces to machine instead will work a bit better.
