Profiling

[Stephen Tinkler]

Hi

Is it possible to make this in control nesting not the profile modeller, there are 2 outer bevels and 2 inner flutes on the part in the picture

Thanks Stephen

If created in the part editor correctly, it should work fine.

Hi Daniel

We are very disappointed to here Control nesting will only recognize 2 of the 4 regions, Daniel when will we be able to work with multiple regions in the nest!

Cheers Stephen

So you are saying Control nesting will recognize all 4 regions and machine properly, If its created in the part editor correctly!

Thanks Stephen

Stephen,

I make my fluted panels as a cabinet back with 1/4" partitions. I replace my 1/4" endmill bit with a 1/2" round nose bit. I don't do a chamfer on the edges but you should be able to use a 45 degree chamfer bit as a custom tool. Another option would be to do the chamfer as a rabbet and switch another tool(1/8"endmill?) for yours chamfer bit. Hope this helps. Sometimes you have to lie a little and think outside the box.

I apologize. There was some confusion with my first post so I corrected it. Control nesting will see multiple regions but only has the ability to use a custom tool on the first 2 regions. Again, I'm sorry for the earlier confusion.

Necessity is the mother of all out the box thinking! so we have used Panelmetrix to solve this one

Thanks Stephen

Brian,
I use part editor and then swap tools, kind of the same thing.
I just do it in the code instead of physically.
I will some day probably steal your idea, thanks

It is very easy to resize!
