Any 2Dprofile tutorials around? | | Hello,
I have been using a different CAM program for 3 years now. I am not happy with it. I am hoping to change over two MadCam as I use Rhino for all of my modeling.
A couple of questions.
I am working through the demo and am wondering how
to setup my profile cuts. I have figured out how to grab curves off of surface edges for profile boundary, I am just not getting how to set up the cuts in space/depth relative to 0/#of passes/finish pass. I build guitars and I do most of my zeroing off of my machine table.
Also how does one go back into "2D cut" after the fact to change settings/parameters? So far I have been deleting toolpath layer and starting over.
Here is a model of what I am trying to get a profile cut on. I am using a .5" ball end for profile and planer contour so I need to get tool to run .25" below part.
Thanks for any information in advance.
Mike
