3 axis arc? was created by yugami
I have very little experience with arcs, and that as on a lathe.

I now have a 3 axis router and need to cut out a pocket. on a 15 degree slope.

I'm hand coding to get the experience.

I uploaded a model here so you can see it

(good for 24hrs from 3PM CST)

The linear moves are easy, but can someone give me a pointer on the curve?

Heres what I have that is close, the helical a bit higher than I want, so maybe I can play with that.
Code:
#<lowzoff> = 0.429; (low hight of angle) #<highzoff> = 0.091; (high linear hight of angle) #<DOC> = 0 G0 X-.125 Z0 G0 Y0.462 G0 Z[0-[#<lowzoff>-#<DOC>]] G1 X1.387 Y0.575 Z[0-[#<highzoff>-#<DOC>]] F45 G3 X[1.387+0.350] Y0.925 I0.0000 J0.3500 Z0.091 G3 X1.387 Y1.2750 I-0.3500 J-0.0000 Z-0.091 G1 X-.125 Y1.412 Z[0-[#<lowzoff>-#<DOC>]] M2

I ended up toning the helix down and finishing with a straight pass up the center to even it out.
