I have to machine a part with a lot of slots and I can't keep the tool down. This increases the machining time considerably. Is there any way to fix this? Please check the attached file. Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Bit of a strange workaround for you, I tried using multiple depths with the keep tool down option and it seems to do the job, also did a full diameter drill operation just for clarity and speed in the simulation. (assuming you would probably mill them out anyway) ![]()
Anyway, have a look at the attached file and give it a try, even if it only points you in the right direction, there are probably much better ways to do what you need but if not this might do for now ![]()

When I checked your file I saw that heights are not correct. However your solution was basically true, I just played with the heights and now it is working fine. Thanks for your help.

Well, I did say it was just something to maybe point you towards a way round your problem

Anyway, as long as you are able to go forward from my poor example then all is good

I am sure there are probably more and better ways to do it, hopefully someone else will put some forward !!
