Re: CAM Pocketing/Contouring Methods
I saw that thread, lots of good information about plunging and ramping but I'm still wondering about using the side of the cutter to clear out a pocket/contour. The CAM program defaults to a huge side cut in the Adaptive Clearing mode and I was hesitant to load the cutter up too much for fear of breaking the bit. Haven't seen any calculators for this.
