moulding tooling path

Post by Conor_Weeke »

Hi all,

I'm using vcarve pro.

I watched the moulding toolpath guide video.
It was very good but I didn't see how to use more than one rail, is it possible to use two rails.
I have to make a tapered leg 45mm thick running from 70mm at the top to 45mm at the bottom.
Basically a long wedge.
I want to have a curve running the length of the leg but I want the curve to reduce in width with the taper of 70mm to 45mm.
Is that possible, is there a two rail video?

Thanks..

One rail only. But nothing stops you from creating a 2nd toolpath using the 2nd rail. You'll probably need to have two profiles with the 2nd being a mirror image of the 1st.
