Does anyone know who might make a 1/8th" endmill and or ballnose with a cutting shank that is at least 3/4" long and is NOT tapered?
I am cutting some molds for a guy who has "hard coded" the holes for the hold-together into the mold and I cannot get them seperated to toolpath them seperately.
It was done on some program on a linux machine and rather then trying to re-toolpath all the files, it seems a simpler thing is to get different tooling.
The problem is that when the tapered ballnose goes down to the bottom of the 3/4" hole it flares out the side of the hole because of the tapered bit.
Unless someone has a clever workaround the different tooling seems to be the easier answer.
