Tool Paths

Post by KevTN »

Hello,

I have download the trial version of Vcarve Desktop. I am trying to work through different features after watching the videos. I have been trying to do pocket tool paths. For some reason it will show the correct vectors but when I go to preview it brings up several tool paths that are invalid. When I go to look at the bottom where tool paths are there is 6-8 of them eventhough I only chose one. It is like it is not clearing old tool paths. Am I missing something?

Thank you...

Make sure you are using the "Pocket" toolpath and not the "Profile" toolpath. Also, you need to reset the preview between views.

It will also create a tool path for each bit selected, you need to remove bits of you don’t want them used.
