    Default Basic 3d tool entry in Enroute 6

    Hi all,

    New member, and relatively new to CNC machining (so apologies in advance if I'm asking a rookie question, or if this has already been covered already... but I had a look through older threads and couldn't find an answer).

    I'm using a Multicam dual function tangential/oscillating knife, and regularly switch between a straight blade and a 45 degree knife to cut through a felt-like PET panel.

    Trying to ramp into the cut (using a 45 degree knife head) at an arc along the Z axis (so that it slopes gradually into and out of the cut) - but I can only find the toolpath setting to ramp into the cut along a 2D path.
    I understand that this will be difficult for a 45 degree knife to achieve, but I would also like to potentially be able to the same on a straight knife.

    I'm not sure if my version of Enroute 6 will allow this at all (it's the basic version), but any advice will be much appreciated!

    Update - according to the team that sold our Enroute licence with the CNC knife, there isn't a way to program this toolpath in the basic version of Enroute.
    Seeing as this function is designed for use with routers, the support team is going to test it with a 45 degree knife for me, and if it works I will evaluate and look into upgrading Enroute...

    In the meantime I'll post any updates here - hopefully this might help someone with similar questions.
