Re: Tapering a pocket

You can make a mortise with a bottom that slopes at 30 degrees by using closely spaced straight lines and the fluting toolpath. But you cannot make a mortise that enters the material at an angle so that there is an undercut. Vectric products cannot do undercuts, unless you in some way lie to the ma...

Re: Tapering a pocket

@adze_cnc, thanks for the reply but I want the pocket to be tapered 30 degrees not necessarily using a 30 degree bit. I am trying to create a 30 degree mortise for my tenon.
