Machining a deep internal pocket on a DMU50 5 axis running Heidenhain tnc640, using the steep and shallow toolpath. Machine reaches an axis limit and the post adds a rewind move, however this seems to still be done with TCPM enabled so the tool tip gouges right through the part. This doesn't show in simulation as this move is being added at post level.
I am using the generic Heidenhain post to output this as my normal one didn't have the rewind functionality (any advice on that one would also be appreciated!)
Attached is the post.
Here is a snippet of the code:
8402 L X-4.751 Y+25.302 Z+22.938 B+12.92 C+331.125
8403 L X-4.181 Y+25.199 Z+22.733 B+10.723
8404 L X-3.977 Y+25.196 Z+22.654 B+10.605
8405 L X+9.709 Y-41.461 Z-9.06 B+0 C+359.77 <---------------- This is the gouge

8414 L Z-9.06 F250
8415 L X+3.826 Y+25.372 Z+22.67 B+11.66 FQ50
Any ideas what is going on here? The rewind moves seem very erratic and hit or miss on whether they will safely retract and reposition the tool.
