New clearance nad finish allowance - september update

[jas.okon]

2 things after checking new update:

-Is clearance Z and X really is meant to be done with cutting feedrate?  I though it would be rapid move. I thought to use it for exemple to retract boring bars further after each cut in deep hole but i don't want to cut air.

- Most old users will be migrating to new strategies using derive operation. Unfortunetly old "Stock to leave" don't transfer to new strategies if using derive command

Is this in the Turning strategy or something else?

[jas.okon]

Yes I meant new turning profile roughing operation

Hi @jas.okon 

The clearance X and Z values are intended to clear the material being cut by a very small distance during entry or exit. If you set them to a rapid feed rate your tool will be rapiding to / from the material while it is still in contact with it. Perhaps you are referring to the Safe Z / Clearance radius parameters which will move the tool to a safe value outside the material with a rapid feed rate? Maybe if you let me know what the issue is with a picture I could check to see if it's an issue.

We've tried our best to maintain derivability of parameters between the old and new strategies. Unfortunately the stock allowance was one of the parameters we could not maintain due to internal software concerns because of how this value was being handled in the old strategies.

1st operation:

2nd op:

What I would like to do is to make the tool in 2nd operation retract to
safe Z after each cutting pass, not just at begging and end of the
operation. I would like to do it to make sure all the chips left the bore
etc. Is it possible to do ?

The pictures don't seem to be attached but I think I understand what you are looking for. How were you doing it in the legacy strategy: by using a lead in / lead out and assigning a rapid feed rate to the leads?

Lol silly me i never thought of it 😄

I manually edited it few times but yeah in legacy profile op you could do that with lead-ins with crazy feedrate I guess.

Now there is no separate feedrate for lead-ins so that is no longer possible.

@jas.okon 

Actually I just checked and you'd have had the same problem in the legacy strategy, of the tool rapiding while in contact with the material. But to answer your question, we don't really have a solution for your problem right now but I will make a note of it as a feature request (retract to safe Z after every cutting pass for profile roughing)
