just a question cus i cant find it anywhere on the net for some stupid reason, what would the G codeing look like for this Trochoidal Milling i am using a haas vf4 2010 by the way
ahhh... G-code mostly consists of arcs but it would be very hard to hand-write this type of toolpath - although not impossible. Usually it will take a CAM software - like MasterCAM, SurfCAM, FeatureCAM etc. to generate the toolpath/G-code for you. Because there are a lot of small moves to keep the chips thin it would take quite a lot of time to write all these moves without the help of some type of software.
...hope this gets you moving in the right direction.
@frdikrll ah right ok, its not needed for the materials i machine but i just wanted to have a play with it if it was possible to do like a short G code loop like helical interpolation can be done, but thanks anyway
It works on pocket, boss and side features. Go to the milling TAB, click on "curly corner" (on the right), check "enable" and start with a small number (.030") or so for corner radius, then play around with the numbers and simulate the toolpath to see the differences. If you mill a slot the tool diameter plus 2*corner radius must be smaller than the slot for the tool to fit.
Use water to finish first

@frdikrll
The first trochoidal cutting was hand written and from what I understand took a long time to program.

you should quit the thinking, only cut your fingernails and leave the metal cutting to professionals
- this tool cut 32 parts.

Part of the point of using this method is to keep tool lasting longer.

What was the tool made of? HSS, Cobalt, Carbide?
What was the chip load?
What was the heat build up in the material?
I did not see any red in your chips might you have been able to have a higher spindle speed and a higher feed rate?

Hi, can you help me?
How do make Trochoidal Milling in Featurecam.
Thanks, good video.
