Warning - 5.09 and beyond CN feature

Post by David Hall »

Changes/Additions for v5.09 (12/12/06)

Pockets on the edge of the part now machine past the edge for overhang. (ADDED) ...
But, parts are still nested using only the part outline, so if you make the pocket overhang the part edge by more than the diameter of your outline tool, the pocket will cut into adjacent parts too.

(only a half sheet of cherry in the dumpster to learn this one)

Regards,
Dave

Thanks for the heads-up David! I'll watch out for that one.
