in lathe stock flip mastercam should have a jaw option to allow you to change to a different set of jaws because its very rare that you use the same from op1 to op2
Hi, I was trying out multiaxis deburr, and I was trying to get it to output "positional" 3+2 motion. I set the tool axis controll to 3+2, but I still seemed to get multiaxis moves, rather than the expected move xyz, retract, position 2, then move xyz again. Is multiaxis deburr intended for use with a true 3+2 positional machine, where B, and C in my case are only able to be positioned, and not moved during the cut?
Hey Matthew! Generally, when set to 3+2 mode, Multiaxis Deburr will lock to a multiaxis position during a cut, and then reposition. The only exception would be whenever a certain chain cannot possibly be deburred at a locked orientation. The toolpath may need simultaneous motion to avoid a certain obstacle, for example. If you are seeing simultaneous motion on a particular chain, we advise that you 'break up' that selection into multiple chains, giving Deburr a chance to machine a certain edge from multiple 3+2 orientations. If you truly only have 3+2 positional capabilities, multiple Deburr operations locked to 3 axis might best match the exact toolpath motion you're picturing for your machine.
I used this on our 5axis using a 0.02mm cut tolerance - it worked great. Next part I changed the tolerance to 0.01 and now the tool crashes 5mm into the part :(

Is there any thoughts about adding some of the functionality into model chamfer? To enable it to use a lollypop, or ballnose like deburr?
Nice work Chad!
