Boss Bore Mill Utility
Boss/Bore Mill is a utility specifically
designed to do Bosses and Bores. It
has the ability to helical mill up and
down the walls as well as some special pathing for boss milling. The utility
has a similar layout to the standard
Surfcam mill interface, with the ability
to select Tools from the Surfcam database,
as well as Materials from the Surfcam
material library. Boos/Bore has special toolpaths for bosses or bores and does
Zlevel type contouring similar to
Truemill but adheres to standard arc
motion in a spiral fasion instead of
spiral motion with arc fitting.
BossBore ALSO has the ability to add
cutter comp to the pocket or contour(
internal or external) as well as spring
passes, overlap of leadin’s, arc or
helix leadin/out where applicable,
first pass feedrate, and finish spindle
speed/feed adjustment for finish
Milling. BossBore also has special
moves for doing finish and spring passes with variations
such as passes on floor, ZLevel via helix,
or Helix motion up/down. Boss bore uses
CViews to allow Milling in the view the
circle is created in.
