common cuts tool?

Post by Robroy »

Good day all, I was wondering if there is a tool in place that will allow us to apply a common cut tool path to a project. For example, if you have a job that needs 100 four by four inch pieces, you can nest them 1/4" apart from one another and then run your bit down the rows and then columns for quicker finishing times. At the moment, I draw a line then another 4.125" (the size of the object plus half the diameter of the tool) and then another line and replicate (copy/paste helps) to create a grid then I have to align that grid centered between the parts. Is there a quicker way here?

Thank you
