  • 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.

  • I think u need a new end mill after this .

  • you should quit the thinking, only cut your fingernails and leave the metal cutting to professionals

    - this tool cut 32 parts.

  • Hi Alan

    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.

    ...later

    F.

see all

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

  • @frdikrll

    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?

  • @frdikrll

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

  • Use water to finish first

  • @frdikrll I was thinking the same thing.

  • @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
