I'm cutting 3.2mm and 3.5mm holes in a 2mm thick piece of CFRP with a 1.6mm end mill using 2D Adaptive Clearing and a Helix type ramp. In order for Fusion to create the toolpath for the 3.2mm holes, I must set my Helical Ramp Diameter to 1.5mm and my Minimum Ramp Diameter to 1.5mm -- 1.8mm for the 3.5mm holes --; otherwise, it results in an empty toolpath. What is the relationship of these values to whatever it is I'm cutting? Is there some formula that determines what is an appropriate value for ramp diameters? I just want to know what the values actually mean and how they correlate with my end mill and the hole diameter. Thanks!
