Blind Dados

Post by Tim Wright »

Hey,
I am having a bit of trouble with some dados in 32mm MDF, the dados are 7mm depth an 32mm in width an it is trying to find a tool that is between 16mm diamater and 32mm diamater to do it.I think it is trying to do it in a sweep up and back. But i want to use a 12mm cutter and do it in a few passes is there a way to change it in my group tooling settings.
cheers Tim

Tim, the software is designed to take 2 passes when creating dadoes. This means that you have to have a tool that is between half the dado size and the full dado size to create the dado. There is no way to tell it to do more than 2 passes. Hope this helps.
