Getting Started with SolidCAM iMachining - Video 4

This is Session 4 of Getting Started with iMachining Professor - an extensive tutorial series to provide you knowledge and practice with iMachining. An iRest strategy is used to clear out any remaining material before using iFinish. This example utilizes two tools. An Ø8 mm (0.3125") end mill is used for the iRough operation and has a 0.12 mm (0.005") Wall/island offset. The pocket is split into two areas, both containing a helical entry, followed by the pocket roughing tool path. Then, a Ø6 mm (0.25") end mill is used for the iRest operation. Data is pulled from the previous, iRough, operation and used for calculating rest material. The bottle neck areas are cleared as well as the Corners only. An iFinish operation performs a final pass along the walls and islands, followed by a Spring Pass.
