[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

What size tooling are you using? How long (how much will it deflect) What stepover are you using?

See if the techniques from:

Using successive sizes of smaller tooling for 3D toolpaths

as requested on support… A recent feature in Carbide Create Pro is “Stock to Leave” which allows one to set up a 3D project so that as one moves down in tool sizes, each tool has material to remove and is not simply rubbing against the material which will result in heat buildup. Note that it is dangerous to skip tooling sizes, since a larger tool will leave a commensurately larger cross-section of uncut material which a small tool could easily be buried in and which might result in it being br…
