Lathe I.D. groove

[Anonymous]

I am trying to machine a I.D. groove on a Haas lathe. my co worker drew the insert configuration and used that for the insert shape, can anyone tell me how this works, and why when i run the simulation the tool over and under cuts the part? I have been trying to watch videos on this but i need to get work done.

I started a new test program, created a I.D. groove, the end is wider that the opening, the tool has a bigger angle on it that the id groove but i cant seem to get the groove tool to follow the curve i created for the id groove, the tool just goes straight , any ideas on how the get the groove to to follow the gemoetry?

Hi joel. stanfield2, could you please attach the Featurecam project and the tool geometry?

Unfortunately without (at least) the tool I can not help you, I would have given you some links where you can see how to create custom tools, but this you have already said that you did not need.

I'm sorry

I worked with DEV at autodesk, he showed me that to machine the groove configuration i wanted i would have to use a boring bar operation. its not exactly what i want for a tool path but it works.
