Ok I have had a chance to test the latest version and am happy to say that it seems to work perfectly. I simply input the same parameters as the Truncated Cone I calculated (3" top, 12" base & 24" height with a 1" overlap) and overlaid it onto my cone and it matched perfectly. Worth noting however, ...

Hello Jim, Thank you for your progress. I have now had an opportunity to test this gadget and sadly have to say that it did not work correctly for me. I am attaching a screen shot that shows how a truncated cone that I created using mathematical equations for a Truncated Cone (left) and another cone...

Hey Jim. Yes that sounds like a great start. I got to thinking that if you can slope the top then possibly another option would be to slope the bottom as well. Thereby making it possible to create a leaning truncated cone or a cone with an offset top. I don't know what else you could include. So far...

Hello Jim, I don't really know what to suggest with regard to features, variables or other options to include to in a gadget. For my purposes if the gadget did nothing other than calculate the shape of a truncated cone, that would serve my purposes at minimum. From there I could easily add flaps to ...

I could write you a gadget. Let me know.

Hey jimandi. That would be awesome if you could do that! Hopefully other users will find it useful as well.
Thnx.

I guess it depends on your CNC use, If you're in the Kitchen cabinet industry you may not have any use for it. We use Truncated cones quite frequently in Scenic Construction. Would come in very handy for me. That said I also think it is a specialty item and that's kinda why there needs to be a Gadge...

Hello, I recently made a post in the general gadget forum with a request for a gadget to create a Truncated Cone. I didn't realize that this forum was available to make requests. My Bad. Here is the link to my previous post. https://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?p=264665#p264665 Basically if there...

Thnx for the suggestion HighPockets. I will suggest that to him.

I am thinking the OP wants the flat layout of a truncated cone. . . . like sheet metal. Yes that is exactly what I am enquiring about. In my work I frequently have to create Truncated Cones. I am aware of the math involved in creating a panel (ie. Sheet Metal) but I find it somewhat laborious to ca...

Just wondering if anybody has created a Gadget that will calculate and create a toolpath that will cut the side panel for a Truncated Cone?
