How to reduce facets on face mill ramp to flat?
I’m not a machinist, so I would appreciate any advice. I have received this sample and the machinist says it’s not possible to improve.
Referring to the larger blocks of reflection, not the individual tool passes.
The cut is made with an 80mm face mill ramp on a 3.5 deg incline, transitioning to flat with a R110 fillet.
3D is perfectly round and tangential, but the cut comes out with 3 or 4 noticeable facets.
Is this something that occurs due to the type of milling or could it be something to do with the tool path or milling parameters?
We can’t change tool, or dimensions…..or machinist.
Edit: clarified what I mean by facet
