Ok I might have figured it out... I finally got it to do it by changing the flat area clearance from raster to offset... Why wouldn't it work with raster vs. offset?

Something like this? ContourCut.png (pictured before the 30 degree v-bit cut) Phil Yes like this, which would be after the clearance passes and before the vbit cut. Mine has a straight wall all the way up. Which means the vbit has to remove a lot of material. If you did enough small passes with the...

I do 0.25” deep vcarve inlays with 30 degree vbit and 1/4” endmill. My clearance passes are 2 identical passes at 0.125” depth resulting in a straight wall 0.25” deep. I saw a post on Instagram where someone had “contoured” clearance passes meaning instead of a straight 0.25” wall there was a stepov...

You're missing that there shouldn't be any material above the start depth when the toolpath is used for the purposes it was designed for so the pass is actually 0.1". The 0.24" part doesn't count as it should be empty space. Understood. Is there a better way to deal with this other than setting the...

I echo Tim's question which doesn't seem to have been answered... I'm trying to make an inlay that is 0.25" deep. For the female pocket I used a start depth of 0 and a flat depth of 0.25". For the male plug I used a start depth of 0.24" and a flat depth of 0.1". Even though my flat area clearance to...
