1) A roughing feature on endface operations that works like Rolled EOT operation where # of passes and infeed can be called out and wheel will start away from end of tool and end at the global infeed value. We would like to see this mainly for Facet Point operatinon and also for Conical Point.
2) Lead/Helix/Shear digitize feature does not reflect variable index values. On a 4 flute tool, the probe seems to look for each flute at 0, 90, 180, and 270 regardless of design time varied index values. We need for the probe to be able to search for flute faces based on called out index values on both common parameter tab and also in situations where either the index link is broken and programmed as an extra on the digitize operation and also in tool segment applications.
3) OD backoff operations to not apparently have the option to call out a front or back face of the wheel to grind on in the 12 o'clock orientation. To use cup wheels, and 75 degree flipped gashing wheels, we have to offset from the back face to the larger diameter front face.
4) Multiple pass Gashing:
