[QUOTE="Glenn Kennedy, post: 106959, member: 6563"] I take a few days off for the weekend and look what I missed! :) What size finishing tool are you using? Does it have enough reach to get down into that area? Are its dimensions correct in your CAM software (SUM3D)? The tool is made up of a shank, a narrowed down section and an actual cutting area. If the shoulder of the tool is too close to the cutting area then the CAM software will only cut into the center geometry so it does not run the shank against the inside wall of your part. A tool that is shaped like the one in the first picture has enough length in the skinning section of the tool to go down into a pocket and cut out material: [attach=full]13487[/attach] A tool that is shaped like the one in the picture below is great for finishing external anatomy but can not do much work inside a piece because the shank will collide with the walls of the part: [attach=full]13488[/attach] [ATTACH=full]13487[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]13488[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
