| - | ===== Design/ | ||
| - | ==== Job Setup ==== | ||
| - | * X-Y datum is **CENTER of material** | ||
| - | * orientation is **along the Y axis** | ||
| - | * calculate roughing and finishing cuts as normal | ||
| - | * 3D-raster at **90-degrees** | ||
| - | * that way less rotation, more travel along the Y, should be faster | ||
| - | * when saving toolpaths **select correct post-processor** (e.g., "Axiom HHC CNC 4TH") | ||
| - | * this is how the X axis motion is translated into A axis rotation | ||
| - | ==== Material Prep ==== | ||
| - | * rough to diameter + a couple mm | ||
| - | * mark center line on piece | ||
| - | * measure center end-to-end for finding XY=0 | ||
| - | * to zero Z axis either | ||
| - | * touch-off puck Z to metal bed | ||
| - | * then +Z to 75mm and re-zero | ||
| - | * or create a 75mm block to use for Z-axis 0-ing | ||
