Defining the tolerances

On the Model area clearance page of the strategy:

  1. In Tolerances, enter: 0.2 mm.
  2. Click on the Thickness button to enable the Radial thickness and Axial thickness fields.
  3. Enter a Radial thickness of 0.5 mm.
  4. Enter an Axial thickness of 0.1 mm.
  5. In Stepover, enter: 7.0 mm.
  6. In Stepdown, enter: 4.0 mm.
  7. In the stepdown list, select Automatic.

    The Z Heights are created automatically when the toolpath is calculated, and any existing Z Heights values are deleted.

Note: The accuracy of the machined part produced by PowerMill is limited by the accuracy of the model read into the program. The original model must have been produced to an adequate tolerance.
