It was at the start of another pass it decided that it should move towards that spot to begin its cut.<br /><br />This was destined to fail from the beginning as the step-over was set a little too wide.<br /><br />I was inspired to do my own 3D face after watch those Youtube vids. It looks so simple...<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, Adam. I'll be posting up my job for someone I met last week for only less than 15 mins later today.<br /><br />WongWongsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583616007802325379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445819594773958579.post-88212915833672584992010-09-25T06:35:36.973+08:002010-09-25T06:35:36.973+08:00Wong,

I doubt any of the ones I saw were milled on a Sherline, but you'll find some pretty nice finished examples if nothing else.<br /><br />Where did the end mill cut into the face? One thing I would check would be the clearance setting and/or the retract plane lengths in the program; setting each to "full retract/clearance" or larger than the maximum cut depth in the program should keep you pretty much safe if the end mill dug in because of a 2.5mm (0.100") clearance/retract setting during a rapid move to another contour or the start of another pass.<br /><br />AdamAdam Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046705760179219217noreply@blogger.com
