Yeah, I've actually been thinking about that a lot lately. I want to start organizing a file share system over the next few weeks. I'm also going to do a tutorial on how to draw this part in MasterCam soon too!
Sure thing, while cutting a surface in one pass might look nice but it's actually putting more cutting forces on the tool itself and dulling the tool quicker. It's common to cut in ratios of 20% or 70% of the tools diameter. So in this example you have a 3inch face mill cutting a 3 inch part. This would be 100% tool engagement. Better to make two passes with smaller stepovers.
NIMS Level 1 CNC part !
Love the NIMS parts and materials!
hey brotha love the videos i was wondering do you do 1 on 1 classes by chance ?
Hi, yes I am available for consulting. I don't have it listed anywhere to purchase. But, if you are interested we can definitely set something up!
Would you be comfortable with giving out some of these solid model files so that I may use it to practice with ?

10:43 Could you please explain why it's bad for the tool?

Thanks. Where can I find such information compiled in the form of a textbook?
