I have a mold segment that has a long sloping edge that needs to be profiled. below is the xz view ( if this shows up correct).
our machine can not be stoped mid-program to raise the "z" axis manually then restarted again . how can i do a simple 3d profile cut with an end mill ? one rough pass ... one finish pass
