    Hi.
    Probably a simple topic for you, but I can't deal with it. How can I set a Lead 1515 with a Dewalt 26600 spindle to have the machine mill in a circle, gradually (spirally) going down to the workpiece like in this video?

    Works on cam.openbuilds but maybe there is some other program?
    Thank you.

    Almost all CAMs has a function for this, typically called "Ramping"

    There is this feature in cam.openbuilds.com, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

    yes as mentioned, some CAMs do. OpenBuildsCAM is a beginner CAM, it doesn't do helical ramping only straight line ramping
