I'm experienced in design, but this is the first part I'm attempting to take through CAM and machining, and I'm stumped. I'm trying to make the part below on a desktop 4 axis mill (Taig DSLS3000). There are a number of similar parts, all of which would be best machined by indexing the 4th axis (which turns around X) while changing the X and Z position of a flat end mill (similar to a lathe turning operation but I don't have a lathe). I usually figure things out pretty quickly using on-line tutorials, but I've been at it a week and still haven't figured out how to get Solidworks 2018 CAM Professional to do what I want. Can anyone help me with this?
