Increase Rough Cutting Tool Life with Constant Cutting Forces
Sponsored ContentTraditional rough cutting is marked with spikes in cutting force and high vibration, taking a toll on your cutting tools. Discover how constant cutting can change the way you think about CAM programming and extend tool life. (Sponsored Content)

In order to operate at a high feed rate using conventional roughing, CAM programmers are often forced to take a shallow, axial depth of cut. Using offset radial passes, the tool in this approach sees increased cutter engagement at every internal corner or when driving into slots. This can lead to premature tool wear and breakage.
Autodesk introduces an alternative with Adaptive Clearing. By programming tool paths with a constant cutter load, users see a larger axial depth of cut, improved cutting consistency and increased metal removal rates...READ MORE.
