Hello Mark
Yes I think that with z level 5 axis and tilt away from the line I did get what I wanted. It is important for me to have planer cuts in order to use only X and Y axis during the cut.
I will try out your other suggestion using the fixed axis surface conturing and with streamline. I...
Hi John,
I don't know with which planer mill subtype operation can I achieve the same effect.Anyway my picture is an example only and here I used planar surfaces but usually I have surfaces that are not planar. And then I can't use planer mill! Am I right?

Hello Mark,
I tried your suggestion to use Z level 5 axis. I used tilt away from the line option (as it can be seen on picture) and if the line is long enough I get the result that I'm looking for. That is that the B and C axis don't rotate during the cutting. I tried some other options and the...
Hi berri
Thank you for your help!!! You are very kind!
I will try out your suggestion and see if I make some progress.
Hope to hear from you more!
See you!
Hi berri,
the machine is conventional gantry milling center with 5 axis. The B and C axis are rotating and attached on a Z column. Like this one in the video:

So I want to generate a ZIG-ZAG toolpath with B and C rotated and locked (they don't move...
Hello all!!!
I would like to generate a toolpath for a 5 axis milling machine with two axis swivel head (B and C axis). I would like a toolpath with B and C axis rotated and locked and the stopovers applied in Z-axis direction. The thing is that if I use the Z level profile and rotate the B and...
