2d contour with taper or try something else
Struggling with a 2d contour path with taper on the back side of a flipped part as shown below. A standard 2d contour tool path causes by end mill to rub on the side of the stock as it nears the bottom of the stock and gets past the flutes.
I tried using the taper option, but the simulation shows that it will mutilate my part. I tried projecting the curve to the bottom of the part, but that didn't work either.
What am I doing wrong, or is this the incorrect approach? I have also tried 3D adaptive clearing to do this cut, but it takes forever!
Thanks,
Tom
