How to avoid this plunge cut???

Anonymous

I am trying to change this vertical plunge cut to a ramp style cut.  The operation is a 2D Contour cutting the outside dimension of the part leaving tabs for support.  I am using a 1/4" flat mill and when it plunges without any horizontal movement the bit/spindle head visibly flexes.  This causes the bit to flex onto the part when plunging for the tabs.  I would like to have it "ramp' into the cut along the cut direction.

Did you try turning on the "Ramp" option on the "Linking" tab?
