Use the High speed page to create arcs in all internal corners of a toolpath, using the Radius specified.
Arc fit corners — Select this option to enable arc fit corners for high-speed finishing.
This example looks at a constant Z toolpath, but the principles are the same for all toolpaths.
- When Arc fit corners is deselected, sharpening is carried out on all internal corners.
- When Arc fit corners is selected for the same example, arcs are created in all internal corners, using the Radius specified:
Note: Arc fitting is of particular importance when high speed machining as it eliminates sudden changes in tool direction.
Radius (tool diameter units) — Specify the radius used if you select Arc fit corners. The radius is defined as a proportion of the tool diameter. The default value is 0.05. So, if you have a tool of diameter 10 mm (radius 5 mm), then the arc radius will be 0.5 mm.
