Error: Invalid tool angles with back turn tool

[gsporie]

Hello,

We have a back  turn insert that I so far am unsuccessful at getting it to work in fusion. I am always getting a "Error: Invalid tool angles." error from the operation.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I'll attach a few screenshots of my tool setup.

@gsporie if you attach a sample file here with the toolpath that's not generating i can take a look.

Here's a quick example

[akash.kamoolkar]

@gsporie your tool is facing the wrong way. i removed the 180 degree rotation of the tool and it generates a toolpath as expected.

It does generate but the tool is now facing the wrong direction.  The tool is meant for back turning so the face of the insert is pointing backwards compared to a regular turning insert

[akash.kamoolkar]

@gsporie instead of rotating the tool 180 degrees you can set your holder as a left hand holder.

That works but then it posts with the wrong spindle direction

[akash.kamoolkar]

@gsporie in that case, instead of setting it to a left handed holder try reversing the spindle direction.

Regards,
