Hey all,

Need your help.  First attempt at relief, and have couple questions.  Tried 3/16 bit for rough and came out a little rougher than expected.  Anyone have bit recommendation for Rough bit with Tormach? Usually going to be 1/2 aluminum stock...  More importantly, how do I go about adding a finishing bit to the attached attempt?  I do not know how to add a different tool to design to finish.  I know if I just try to copy, I would not be touching the piece.  Thanks so much for the help, I appreciate it!

Also, look up NYCCNC on youtube he has done a few vids on the tormach.

 

With your model, it is can the tool fit in most areas if not, usually you do another toolpath or reduces the stepover and or duplicate the previse toolpath using a smaller tool with the rest machining on.

 

The item is quite small so you will need to get something like a tapered cutter with a tinny tip like this https://www.toolstoday.com/v-11609-46280.html to finish the toolpath.

 

Example attached.
