Noting the difference between the two, we can see that increasing the offset has helped to ensure there is no tool pinching and that the end mill will have a complete path around the part through the stock that needs to be removed.
So, if your toolpath doesn’t create a complete loop around the part, using this can allow that loop to be made and the tooling part to not get pinched off between the various cuts.
The percentage number seen within the dialogue box is a value that indicates how far off the part the tool can go. Where is this option?Īir Segment Offset is located within the Operation Parameter’s tab under the Feature Options. This is often used primarily in Slot Features and Part Perimeter Features. In CAMWorks, the Air Segment Offset number is a value that allows us to adjust how far off the part the tool can go.
