5-axis MachiningSolidCAM2005 Milling Manual

Exercise 16:
1. Use the CAM-Part prepared in Exercise 15.
2. Edit the 5-axis operation.
3. Switch to the Geometry page and choose the Cwise for the Direction for one way
machining option.
4. Calculate and simulate the operation. As you can see the tool path works in the
opposite direction. When the tool path is normal to the surface, it is not so clear
what is the conventional or climb milling direction. So you can use the CW or
CCW to get the requested tool path direction.
