cutting a straight line on a curved corbel

Post by Intelicam »

I have a corbel made in autocad that we need to cut two straight lines up the front using a 3/4" ballnose. I'm not sure how to do this. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Brad,

You could try using the Profile toolpath with Project Toolpath onto 3D Model selected.

This will machine at constant depth over the face of the 3D corbel.
