Summary


Details

The hole milling operation is finishing a hole to a close tolerance.  How can I add a spring pass to the path so the tool makes an extra revolution to minimize tool deflection errors when finishing?

Solution

This can be easily done by defining an overlap distance on the Non Cutting Moves; Overlap tab.  This will simply extend the path by the angle or distance specified.  If you add a 360 degree overlap, the tool makes another full pass around the hole before retracting.
