how to cut pcb contour from gerber?

[Anriro]

How to compensate for the diameter of the tool, while cutting the contour of the printed circuit board along the center line?

in TNG when exporting from a grbl, the tool cuts either from two sides of the line, or in the center, both of these options are not suitable for cutting the PCB contour

Then what's the point of opening gerber files in the CNC planet, if you still have to use other programs to compile the correct control program?

What do you suggest that the program do instead?

Make a correction on the instrument, when exporting gerbers, there is a window in which the diameter of the instrument is indicated, but it does not work if you select the "centerline"

Because of such trifles, the option of importing gerberas becomes useless, because you have to use other programs in which you can immediately make the g-code


Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or are there other ways to take the tool diameter into account when importing gerberas?

I think that I am missing something but that is not a surprise.

If you tell a tool to cut down the middle / center of a line, that is what it does.

How does the diameter of a tool cutter have anything to do with cutting down the middle of a line?

It sounds like perhaps what you are asking it to do is:
- not cut "on the center of the line"

but instead

- "cut out the contour of the board exterior shape", which is "defined by the line" , which does required tool diameter compensation.

Perhaps this feature / command already exists or can be added in the future.

In the short term, since you have control of both the design and cutting process, then it would be trivial for you to just add this cutter radius into the design.
