I am meeting the grand kids at the park in a few minutes, otherwise I would try. This is “our” day and night sleepover which my wife is planning to make it a weekly thing. I am already exhausted.
I just did the paperwork exercise in Fusion.
This is the model:
I then manufactured using the sketch profile for one gcode and used the body face for another gcode. They are exactly the same:

This is really wierd. I cannot seem to get the two different gcode files to give the name that I have saved them. So I am not really proving my point.
I don’t know. I have awful compelling evidence in front of me that says a chain profile cuts a different size hole than a face contour. All other aspects of the cut settings being the same.
I don’t want to select 24^2 chain cut profiles. Eeeewww.
All I did was delete the face contour and select 3 chains and closed the edit.
No. As I said above when I suspected something amiss. I deleted my face contour cut path only, selected 3 holes as chains for a test then clicked OK, post processed it, fixed the program speed (PS0) in the gcode last line (known post processor bug) and ran it.
Those 3 holes were larger than the other ones I just cut from the same design. By larger I mean my 5/8" tooling fit in the holes, whereas the others were too tight by a lot.
