Beginner Needs Help

I'm CNC milling a profile to match an existing products base ( a riser block) but I'm having some difficulty.

I've traced & scaled the original profile as best I can but when this is translated into CNC code there are lots of imperfections in what should be a smooth flowing although complex curve.

Is there an easy way of smoothing out the curves on this profile other than experimenting with the exact position of each node???

I'm totally self taught on Autocad so forgive me if even the basics aren't quite right.

Imo, you have far too many points in the spline. I don't think there's any way to smooth it out other than node by node, but even that would be very difficult to do.

Any chance of a pic of what you traced?

How are you exporting the data from ACAD and what CNC software are you using?

Try with Fagor DNC software Your autocad.dxf file will generate the CNC program.

You may want to applying a G05 (corner rounding) in the beginning of the program. This is a modal command and is cancelled by G07 (Square corner)

There is a general machine parameter that asks which one is default at start-up..... this will tell you which one has been active.

good luck !
