Hi John:

  Thx, previously noted, fix is in the works for Oct. The sim only is affected, the toolpath , as you suspect, will be fine.
(Well as fine as 4th axis can be for epicycloidals..).

Slitting saw on a small pinion - simulation trouble?

Experimenting with a 0.4 module 10 tooth pinion.

I suspect the cuts are going to be OK but the simulation has them misplaced relative to the image of the finished gear

see attached screen which also shows tool parameters.
