Wouldn’t it be nice to just program the part with 3-axis cutting, using your familiar roughing and finishing operations, and just ask the software to adjust the tool axis as needed to get the shorter tool to fit in the hard-to-reach places?
That would be very nice indeed.
This is precisely the capability found in NX™ CAM’s “Tilt Tool Axis” function.
