VoluTurn and custom tools

[Chumlee]

Hi all,

Is there a way to make a Voluturn tool path with a custom tool? The Voluturn box does not appear in the CAM selection when the custom tool is selected. I have a high feed turning cutter I'd like to Voluturn with and I'm struggling to get an acceptable tool path. I'm using Gibbs version 23.0.42.0.

Thanks,

Chumlee

I think VoluTurn only accepts round inserts.

Ok. That makes sense. To get it to work I selected a button insert in Gibbs and told it that it was the same diameter as the high feed is wide. It's just roughing so I'm not real concerned about the corners being different. That will all get finished out later.

Thanks for the help!
