4-Axis indexing tool path crosses stock was created by deemoss
Hi!
I have generated g-code in Fusion360 which machines 3 faces of a cube (on a 4-axis machine, B-Axis). It seems to work, except, when the tool moves from one operation to the next, it chooses the shortest path, which means going through the stock. See video.
I am not even sure where to change this behaviour; CAM setup, post processor, LCNC?
Could you give me some pointers?
Cheers,
Dimos

Look at the simulation in F360 and do your corrections there in CAM.

Definitely something to fix in the CAM.
I am not at a machine with Fusion installed at the moment, so can't show you where to change this.

Thanks guys, I will check the CAM and report on the progress.
