If you just want to look at the generated toolpath you can click the process you want to see the path on ones, then just scroll on the part and the view updates with the toolpath. Just saves you from opening the process just to close it again. Anyways, keep the tutorials coming! Highly appreciated.
Talking on the change of philosophy of high speed milling, cutter angle of engagement produces some formulas to define radial chip thinning. Desired chip thickness will be the key factor per different milling cutter to achieve your ideal MRR. I've always been calculating from my own values. I'm interested how the software calculates the formulas. Really nice adaptation for the technology expert fine tune for us. Side note, the small sample that I've tried with Gibbs seems to lean super high speed to what I'm accustomed too in my world l. When I input the full capabilities on my available machine tools I am not yet comfortable to let them rip. 🐓
If you look at another video on my channel you will see a video cutting 1045 steel, 1" deep at about 235 ipm. You will be amazed at how well it cuts. I have never really seen a flaw in Volumill. Note: That demo was on a 20hp mill with only 900 imp rapids, but still did amazing well. I normally stay on the conservative side just to be sure. We tried Sandvik, Iscar, Kennametal on that part and they all worked well. One guy brought us a 6 flute em and said try it. I thought "its going to clogg up the end mill and break" but amazingly it worked fantastic. Thank you for your insight !
@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials definitely interested in taking a look at that video you mentioned! Volume milling is definitely a game changer with all the high nickel stuff I work alot with. Tool holders are super critical. Currently where I work, we are cultured with cheap EM holders. I need to my hands on a rigid holder. Then I can gather some MRR data so that the shop culture changes to fully embrace the modern process with Volumill.
@@punkdudex69 I first met Volumill when a customer said no more casting Inconel 718 and I struggled milling the cavity with what Gibbs gave me without Volumill. Once I had Volumill demo I got through the first layer in no time. Boss said get it and the roughing all went smooth with the Iscar Multimaster type bullendmills and ballendmills from then on. It's been years since I had Volumill Solids so I needed this video to be sure I wasn't remembering wrong, glad I wasn't.
I love how it ramps down in the material with side mill only checked, even when it's possible to come in from the side.

Thanks for the video, just what I needed to be sure I remembered correctly about Volumill Solids, before adding it to PO.
Thanks for the video ☺️
You are welcome
what version of this gibbscam, look nice
Thanks for the video
It is v14.0.21. This release just came out last week.

@@punkdudex69 If you are working with nickel Volumill will work fantastic ! Just make sure you are not using ER collets. Good luck !
