1 R CAM / -A T C A S Typically, a -Axis job will start with a Horizontal Roughing opera on to remove excess stock material in prepara on for one or more finishing passes. Therefore the Horizontal Roughing opera on requires that you first set a stock. First we will go over the method we use for crea ng a stock... Se ng/selec ng A Stock Notes. Begin by modeling your stock three dimensionally in Rhino. Your stock may be a simple box, or may be made up of mul ple closed polysurface objects. Once you have the stock modeled you can select the object(s) and go to the Stock drop down box and select Stock from Selec on. This will set a stock that matches your modeled stock in Rhino. You should then hide the layer with your modeled stock objects. The ini al set-up will be basically the same for all -Axis opera ons. It consists of selec ng your regions and tools; se ng machine feed rates and spindle speed; and se ng a clearance plane. I S -U Machining Features/Regions. Press the select drive/containment region bu on. Select regions in Rhino and press enter when finished.. To change your selec on first press Remove All and then repeat Step.. Move on to the Tool tab. Page

2 6 Tool. Select the appropriate tool from the shop s tool library. If you do not have the tool library loaded please reference the separate instruc on on loading the tool library.. Click the Edit/Create/Select tool bu on.. In the Edit/Create Tool Window set the tool number to correspond with the tool holder on the machine. 4. Click Save Edits to Tool. A pop up window will appear. Click Ok. 5. Click Ok to close the window. 6. Move on to the Feeds & Speeds tab. 5 4 Feeds & Speeds. Press the Load from Tool bu on. This will load the pre-defined spindle speed and feed rates from the tool you have selected.. Move on to the Clearance Plane tab. *IMPORTANT! - IF YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE YOUR TOOL AT ANYTIME YOU MUST COME BACK TO THE FEEDS & SPEEDS TAB AND CLICK THE LOAD FROM TOOL BUTTON AGAIN. Page

3 Clearance Plane. Under the Clearance Plane tab select the bu on for Absolute Z Value. To provide a safe buffer to ensure we avoid collisions, we typically set a clearance plane that is above all materials on the table, e.g., for a 4 foam glue up our clearance plane would be 5.. Move on to the tab. For the next step each opera on will have different features so we will go over the specifics of each one separately. D S -U Once the ini al set-up is complete each opera on will have more specific parameters to set. These will vary between opera ons but generally will consist of se ng cut parameters; assigning cut levels; controlling the entry/exit methods of the machine; and some other adjustments depending on your opera on and the specifics of your job. -A H R. The main se ng we need to adjust under the cut parameters for Horizontal Roughing is the Stepover Distance. Using the Rule of Thumb (ra o of cu ng width to cu ng depth) we will assign a stepover that is equal to 50% of the tool Diameter.. If desired you may also adjust the cut pa ern to be er match the grain of your wood.. Move on to the Cut Levels tab. Page

4 Cut Levels. Under Stepdown Control select the control bu on for % Tool Diameter. Using the ra o of cu ng width to cu ng depth and given that our stepover is 50% of the tool diameter, we can assign a cut depth equal to 00% of the tool diameter.. Move on to the Engage/Retract tab. Engage/Retract. Change the Height (H) under the engage/retract tab to match the height of your cut level. In this example we will assume we are using a.5 diameter tool. Since our cut level was assigned as 00% of the tool diameter then our Height value should be.5. Click the generate bu on to generate and preview your -A P F. A er the ini al set-up is complete, the only other se ng you need to adjust for parallel finishing is the Cut Parameters. In the we only have to set the Stepover Control. Select the control bu on for Distance. Enter a value for your stepover. Typically we use a value between.0 and.06. A smaller stepover will create a smoother finish but will increase the me of your finishing pass.. You may consider adjus ng the angle of cuts if it suits your job.. Click Generate and preview your Page 4

5 -A H F Cut Levels. A er the ini al set up, the only se ng we need to adjust for Horizontal Finishing is the Stepdown Control. Under the Cut Levels tab click the control bu on for Distance. Enter a value for stepdown. Similar to parallel finishing, we use a value between.0 and.06. A smaller stepdown will create a smoother finish but will increase the me of your finishing pass.. Click Generate to preview your -A P P. Under the tab for Projec on Pocke ng first select the control bu on for Distance under the Stepover Control sec on. Enter a value for stepover. This value will depend on how smooth of a finish you are seeking. In many cases the surfaces we are finishing with a Projec on Pocke ng pass are flat or shallow slopes and therefore the stepover may be somewhat large as compared to a Parallel Finishing. Here we use a value of.065 or /6. If desired you can adjust the Cut Pa ern to be er match the grain direc on if you have a wood stock (Linear) or to avoid/reduce scalloping (D offset).. Click Generate and preview your Page 5

6 -A C M. In the cut parameters for curve machining you will see the default Cut Type is On the curve. This is typically the se ng we will use.. Click Generate and preview your tool path. *The programming for curve machining is quite simple, however, the set up in Rhino can be somewhat complicated so we will cover that in more detail below... Curve Machining Object Set up In the example below we will look at using curve machining to clean up the edges around a building in a site model. For this purpose we will assume we are using a /4 Flat Mill bit for this opera on. Since the Curve Machining opera on cuts ON the center of the curve regions that we give the program we need to offset our curves to accommodate the diameter of the tool. (see fig.) Note that our curve regions do not need to be located on the surface. The Curve Machining opera on projects the curves you give it onto the top most surface to create the toolpath. (see fig.) Since the toolpaths are projected, some mes ver cal surfaces (such as buildings) can affect the projec on. Therefore it is important to hide those ver cal surfaces before genera ng your (see fig.) offset (half of bit diameter) curve geometry for machining toolpath is incorrect (li ed to avoid building) toolpath is correct (projected onto surface with building hidden.) fig. (visible building creates incorrect toolpath) fig. (building is hidden to allow correct toolpath generea no) Page 6
