Mastercam X9 introduces new containment boundary options for better control over your tool tip and actual tool contact point. All surface high speed toolpaths now include a new containment page. Surface high speed finishing toolpaths also support new ways to treat your containment boundaries for more control over your motion.
You can choose “tool tip” to run the center of your tool as the compensation point for all containment boundaries just as you do now in Mastercam. But now you also have the option to choose “contact point”, shifting the compensation to the tool contact point to run on your containment boundaries. This new option ensures more material removal while simplifying your programming efforts.
