Please Help Machining This Part

Hi guys:

Can someone please help me machine this part? I have 3 different issues.

1_Can't make it machine the bottom surface of this spiral "pockets".

2_I can't make the Trunnion to rotate and machine the part in the front of the table.

3_Am I using the right strategies to run this part?

Please, Maybe I am not using the right multi-axis strategy. I'm new in 5 Axis.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

 

To get the trunnion to face towards you, edit the machine definition and set the preference for the A axis to positive

To machine the floor of the spirals you can use Blend or Geodesic, I have attached a file with some examples.

Blend seems to give the nicest results in this case.

 

Using Rotary pocket and rotary contour is a good choice for roughing and finishing the walls of a part like this so you were spot on with those selections

Thank you a.laasW8M6T for the help and the fast response. When I posted this part issue, I did it with you in mind.

I knew if you read it, you had the solution.

I'm gonna get into the examples files, I'll let you know if I get in trouble.

Thank you again for the help.
