As Herbert pointed out, this is not a tutorial let alone a documentation of the Path Workbench. It is for the very first steps, because they are very hard to go if you don't know where to begin.marcuswolschon wrote:In your introduction posting you don't tell what the difference between "Final Depth" and "Finish Depth" is.
Also I am missing any specification of what the material blank looks like.
At what stage shall the user specify where the 0-location in the work coordinate system is?
Another thing I missed in your posting was how to configure what your machine is capable of (speeds, work area, g-code flavor, max RPM, existence and placement of non-carthesian axis,...).
Is it correct that the feedrate and RPM have no (reduced) setting for high-chipload moves and that I can't specify any ramping angle for diving into the material?
As for the machine: what you ask for is defined in the post processor file. There are already several of these in the Mod/Path/PathScripts subdirectory of FreeCAD. They all end in "..._post.py".widely used is the linuxcnc_post.py fairly good configurable for new machines is the maho_post.py (which I like to recommend, because I wrote it myself; so don't take the recommendation too serious).
