Re: Cutting a 45 angle in a nest

I don't know, we went through this when we first got the machine and it always tried to model the 45 with a compression bit doing it in 3 steps we could never get it to grab the 45 deg Amana bit, not to mention the extra part clearance you would need for this bit to get in and work.

Re: Cutting a 45 angle in a nest

I'm sorry, to answer your original question, we leave the parts square in Ecabs and put the 45 angle on with the fore mentioned program.

Re: Cutting a 45 angle in a nest

We wrote a small program at the controller and put the part at the flip op location and run a 45 deg bit on them.

Re: Snooker cue case machining ??

The jig is pockete...
