dovetails

Post by Roger Erismann »

When cutting the dovetail joints...

What happens with the default settings....will they cut ok?

We are running trials on 3/4(plenty of scrap) and I want know what settings are best in e-cabs and which ones are best left for the operator(at the machine)...

I have included the job file for your review

Thanks

Roger

Roger,

Default settings will work fine for cutting dovetail drawers. But tooling on machine and actual material size will need to be setup precisely. Typically the only settings that need to be adjusted when cutting the dovetail boxes will be the Daylight value of the dovetail profile tool and the Dovetail Radius Crunch(located in SETTINGS of Control Nesting).

I hope this information has been helpful.
