Sample Output
Fig, Roughing and
finishing tool paths for
CNC Milling
3. Roughing Toolpath
1. Create Roughing
Toolpath: Check the box
Click Select to select the
tool
2. Cutting Parameters:
Pass Depth: is the depth
of cut in each pass. In this
case, the material and
model depth are 50mm
and pass depth is 2.5mm,
so the toolpath will make
20 roughing pass.
Stepover: This is the
distance the cutter
moves over when doing
area clearance cutting.
In this case, stepover
is 5mm, so the grill will
have 5mm overlapping
with the cutting area in
the previous move. The
Stepover should be less
than 50% of the diameter
of the grill
3. Feeds and Speeds:
Spindle speed: In most
of the cases, the spindle
speed is 6000rpm
Feed Rate: Lower feed
rate is suggested to set,
like 30mm/sec. We can
speed up the speed of
mill after the process
starts.

4. Finishing Toolpath
1. Click Select to select
the tool
2. Cutting Parameter: In
order to get a smooth
surface, the stepover
should be about 0.5 to
2mm
3. Feeds and Speeds:
Refer to step 3.3
4. Tool number: Set 1
5. Toolpath Parameters
6. Raster angle: It allows
the cutting direction to
be set parallel to the X
axis, the Y axis or at 45
degrees.
Rapid clearance gap:
Refer to step 3.5
7. Side played: Select
Top
8. Click Next
6. Preview Matching
1. The preview can
be shows by clicking
Roughing Toolpath
Preview or Finishing
Toolpath Preview. The
animation of the cutting
process will be shown
by checking the box of
Animate preview.
2. If we set Scale Factor
as 1, we will get the
exact cutting time based
on the setting in the
computer. Since we may
speed up the cutting rate
after the cutting starts,
the Scale Factor should
be larger to get a more
accurate estimated time.
