Good evening. I have my first need for Aspire of which I do not have. Upon visiting my local CNC router store where I purchased my machine and software, I am told that I can do the following but I need guidance.
I need to make several cutting boards like my example for my children.
The depth of the flute or slot is 1/16 " at the left and 3/16" depth at the far right or end. This allows liquid to supposedly drain into the larger pocket.
I have looked at several methods that I know of in trying to complete this task. Is this something any of you believe can be done without having Aspire. Hopefully I have explained it well enough for you to understand. I think Aspire will have to be on my new want/need list.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Use the fluting toolpath.

Does the fluting toolpath allow tapered depth? I will try it if so.

There is an excellent example of several fluting toolpath options here also http://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?p=212157#p212157

I truly appreciate all of you who took the time to reply and give me guidance. It was in front of me the whole time. It is perfect. I am on a few facebook accounts but I have to say, you folks make it worthwhile of coming back to this forum when you are looking for assistance. I only hope I can repay one of you one day with information I may know.
Thanks again to all of you.
Michael
