Lift tool between stepovers

Hey guys

May seem like a simple question but I cant seem to find a way to allow the tool to raise between step overs on a horizontal tool path or pocket clearing. The final finish shows marks where the tool repositions.

Have read about offsetting contour in sketch and doing a 2d contour for each step over, but that seems are rather bodge way of doing it.

Thanks

@danpayneuk

Have you tried using the "Use Morphed Spiral Machining" option? This does not usually use the "transition" moves so may be a better option for your finish 🙂 🙂 🙂

Stay Safe

Hi Rob

No I haven't. I will have a play with that and see if it works. Thanks for the tip.

Yes, that does remove the transitions but it also makes the finish look like a form of adaptive clearing. It would be nice if it would lift and ramp down into the next layer.

Have you tried "lift height" on the linking tab? I don't know if this will help with your particular issue, but will raise the tool up above the surface when linking cutting paths.
