Another wish list item

Post by Peter Stenabaugh »

Tony / Brian:

Another item that would be nice to have in Vcarve, is the ablility to change the step over for pocketing beyond what you currently have. I was doing a project lately
and I was limited to having a step over LESS than 50%. If I need to pocket out a large area, say perhaps 18" x 24" and I want to use a 1" diameter cutter, I cannot
set the step over beyond 49.9%. If I was able to set the step over to 90% or more, this would save a lot of machining time. It would be nice to be able to set the
step over to what ever amount a person wanted.

Thanks,

Pete

If you are using a 1/2" mill end just make a new tool that is a 1" mill end then set this to your 50% and you can mill the entire 1/2" bit. You can make a new tool to any size you wish
