Re: Circumference cut?

Using data from an Amana slot cutter, I created a form tool, however, since VCarve doesnt want the top surface of the cutter when creating a tool, it does not show a slot when previewing the tool path.

So my thought is to take a piece of 1/2" mdf and draw a centerline down it with angled lines (60deg) and mirror it on the opposite side of th...
