Re: Mating parts and tolerances
Hi Joe - I use the scaling tool but haven't seen the offset option. I am learning to use the software. I'll try the method you use and test as well. Thanks so much for your input. This is almost exactly the joint I designed for my desks. Did you do a "copy and resize" or an "offset"? The results are...

Re: Mating parts and tolerances
Hi Adrian
Thanks for the reply. I use the scaling tool but resize using the mm option not the percentage option. I will definitely try via trial and error with different woods. Thanks so much for the assistance - will post what my results are like.

I have radiused the corners of the...

Re: Cut2d cutting above workpiece
Roger that - Sorry it's the openbuilds pp and cut in openbuilds software. I use a workbee cnc with arduino uno controller. Perhaps the standard grbl processor is better. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me!

Re: Cut2d cutting above workpiece
Hi, yes cut depth is set to 10 - I run the piece through a bandsaw afterwards to 10mm so the pieces fall out. I setup tabs on one to test. There were originally 4 of these in a row, all set to cut in one Toolpath - but this is where the issue comes in. It doesn't go to a safe Z after the 2nd piece h...
