So my first experience with arc segments is making a balder man of me...
I was handed a pallet of incomplete parts, with basically no print.
This whole deal, apparently... was the brain child of someone who decided that milling "keys" into these parts would be faster than welding them on like the print calls for. Okie dokie... here we go!
These are what im trying to make...
![]()
So far... with the part oriented in the machine so that one of the arcs will be milled perpendicular to x at y0,x+... i have managed to get 1 arc to at least look close to what its supposed to be in the tool path/part shape simulator...
I could not get mazatrol to play nice...
Resorted to manual programming.
I think i have the arcs figured out... but im having real trouble wrapping my mind around how to get the side angles on the keys...
Any pointers from you guru's?
