round stock

Gian · Post by **Gian** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:39 am

I am working on a part milled from 2" round bar that needs to be held at a 9degree angle in my three axis mill. Is it possible to make round stock in visual mill to avoid cutting air and also can I have my stock set at the 9 degrees in visual mill to make my set up easier and avoid having to face my part in g-code before running my v.m. program?
Thanks for the help.

If you are running the PRO product configuration, yes you can define a cylindrical stock using
1) The cylindrical stock settings
2) Stock from selection (create a cylinder and select the cylinder as the stock model)
3) You can also create a Regions stock if the cylinder axis is along the Z axis.
