I am using a Bull nose as opposed to a ball nose for the clearing operation, on a 10mm dia it only has 1mm corner rad
cheers

Try the same cut but depth per level at 5mm
See how that works

I am using a Bull nose

Might as well say 10mm endmill with a 1mm corner radius as no one will guess the corner radius.

Is it 2 flute?

How are you getting to your depth of cut? If you are not using a ramped or interpolated path to clear a starting pocket that's bigger than your end mill then any cut from the start point is full cutter width, not adaptive.

I ordered it as a Bull Mill specific for the rail and i figuered an end mill might be too harsh....hmmm
Anyway, i lead in/out both vertical and Horizontal of 1mm on a helix ramp, and an angle of 2 degrees the ramp dia being 7.5mm.
I had to redo the whole drawing so am now only just back at the cam setup stage, i hope to create and test the new toolpath tonight with a doc of 6mm (sorry battwell i had already decide on 6 for some reason but at least i am close :-) ) and width cut of 2mm.
