Hi,
I’m new to the whole CNC thing, so please forgive me if this is totally novice. I’ve watched a few tutorials and did a bit of searching, but did not find what I was looking for.
I’m wanting to cut a dished shape out of the top of a board (like the inside of a spoon, see attached file). I created the shape I want and saved it as a 3DS file. I then imported it into Cut 3D. The tool path created attempts to cut out the shape around the dish cut which I do not want. I am cutting this shape into an existing piece so all I want to do is clamp it down, set my xyz above the place to cut and then cut only the dish. If I used the tool path created, it would dig in to the object around the outside of the dish shape.
I tried making a large flat surface around the dished shape and setting my Z0 slightly above the object. This helped, but the router would be goes back and forth like crazy over areas not cutting.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
