Hello,
Correct me if I'm wrong but you need to get all this info from manufacturer of your tooling.

Hello,
Try using "Arc Radius/End Point" instead of "Round" when you drawing the contour, it seemed to make a difference on my end, have a look at the file I'll attach and let us know if that's what you were trying to achieve.

Yes you're right, there is no easy way, unless we're missing something.
The other machine I'm using got that option built in, you just set the feedrate for contour approach and you're ready to go.
Something for Homag to look into I suppose.

All you have to do then is add several vertical trimming macros (depending on the amount of steps you want), with different Z depths.
Have a look at the file that I'll attach with this post.

I've tried the file that I've send over in my previous post on our machine and it works fine, lowering speed is set to 1m/min and the rest is 5m/min, if it doesn't work on your side then sorry, I'm out of ideas...
Maybe try contacting Homag?

Hello Craig,

To be able to control approach and retract path speeds, you'll have to draw those paths as contours, I'm sending you a sample file to give you an idea.

Hello Craig,

I think you should be able to control that through "change technology parameter" in "NC macros" tab, can you send a sample program where you would like to use this and I'll have a look?

Hello Everyone,

Like the topic says, is it possible to use a 3D mouse (like for example 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse) in WoodWop?

Thanks.

Hello cedar,

Your solution worked! Thanks for that.

Hello everyone,

Would anyone be able to help me with following issue:

WoodWop that I'm using in the office for programming is missing "Trimming pocket free-form" macro, I've only got the regular "Trimming Pocket Vertical" one, whereabouts the WoodWop on the machine got both.
What would be the reason for that?

Thanks.
