You could change the milling toolpath to a different retraction height but it's just one of the many things you would have to change to make it work.Ĭode: Select all Information: Configuration: Buildbotics 4-Axis CNC Controller You obviously can't turn on a plasma torch 4 inches from the work piece and then plunge, you need to move to your cutting depth first before turning on the torch. This way the milling bit is spun up before contacting the work piece. A simple example is that a milling toolpath turns on the tool when the Z is at the retraction height, then it moves down to the cutting height.

It would be best for everyone, especially those less experienced with F360, if you could use the toolpath that is correct for the operation you're trying to perform. You could technically probably get a 2D contour toolpath to act like a cutting toolpath but it would require changing a lot of settings so it's really not ideal. All of the property values are gone and when you post there is actually no output.Īs a note to the previous post, the reason this is necessary is a cutting toolpath in F360 works vastly different by default than any of the machining toolpaths. See attached photo, something appears to be off with this CPS file.
