View Full Version : 4 axis questions

Just saw a youtube video of the Thermwood 80 router, cutting 8 corbels at a time. Very cool.

Is anyone on the forum successfully making these? They are not too hard to draw, but the toolpath can be tricky.

I use Rhinocam (not Pro, just basic w/4 axis), and the version I have lacks the pencil-tracing strategy. Therefore, I will just have to spend 4 hours editing curves, so that I can have a curve to engrave.

If anyone knows anything about making these, please let me know.

Hey spoiledbrat,

I do 4th axis wood carving and I use Madcam which does have pencil tracing as well as remachining and other toolpath strategies that may help. If you don't mind sending me file I will run it though the cam and see what I can do for you.
