2D contour, milling, using “ramp”, bottom of cut

chuck767 — Sun, 23 Jul 2023 15:33:29 GMT

When Doing a simple 2D contour milling and using the “ ramp” setting, when I set the “ bottom height “ to zero , from “ stock bottom “ the resulting G code has the Cutter going 0.040” below the stock bottom.

I have tried changing “ stock, bottom” to “Model, bottom”, with the same result.

how do I get the cutter to only cut to the bottom of the part, not .040 inches below the bottom?

thanks,

Chuck

This is one of two duplicate posts. The titles are different but the question is the same. Please do not duplicate post. The Forum will need a little more from you to be able to help. You did not specify the Post Processor you are using to create your code. If this process is not a standard one, supplied by Autodesk, you will need to attach the Post Processor (cps) file itself. Also, please attach the model that is showing this issue. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Sorry, didn't realize the double post.

I'm using MACH3 PP is from Artsoft

Here is Fusion file

and gcode file.

I tried Mach4 with same 0.040" problem. the PP is from Artsoft also

Thanks,

Chuck

The code goes to the correct depth -0.24.

Is the problem you're seeing because the stock in the setup has 0.40" stock top offset? The part is 0.2 but stock is 0.24

That sounded like the solution, but I went into the stock set up and change the top and bottom offset to zero and I still end up with the cut being 0.24”

Upload the f3d here again.

Thanks Mark

This is what I see in Fusion after updating the setup and regenerating the op.

It definitely shows 0.20

The problem must be with the Mach3 post processor.

After changing the setup did you regenerate the 2d OP?

@chuck767 Also I notice you have several NC Programs in the browser, you should either use them when posting or turn the option off on the post dialog if you don't want to use them.

No, I did not.

I tried again and now everything works fine. Thank you for the solution.
