v clearance initial cut depth ignored
Posted: Thu 08 Oct , 2020 10:22 am
I've been attempting to create wooden inlays using the method developed by Paul Zank and Damian Durante, the method requires a cut path that starts below the surface of the billet to create the "male part."
I've been using the advanced settings to attempt to achieve this, and for v carve plans it works perfectly (I get an actual cut depth that is the sum of the initial and the max cut depths)
However when using the exact same settings for a v clearance plan the resultant cut depth is only the max cut depth and the initial depth setting appears to be ignored.
I'm able to get around this problem by changing my tool offset in vr milling and cutting separate files but would prefer if I could streamline the process.
Can anyone shine a light on why this might be happening
