high speed machining tool inside the window

asifcad — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 05:40:29 GMT

Hello, I have a question about restricting the tool within the milling window in high-speed machining (HSM), similar to volume milling. I would be very thankful if someone could share any sample files of HSM.

regards

Asif

Check your Allow_entry_outside parameter on your HSM step:

If you have this parameter set to yes, then the mill window settings (outside, on, inside) are basically ignored, and the tool movement is seemingly unrestricted.
If you have this parameter set to no, then the tool will be restricted as you would expect from your mill window choice.
