I've looked at the wavy scarf in the files section. I need to make some scarf joints in 1/2" plywood that are straight across (non-wavy).

I can write my own file to make this simple stepped scarf in 14 steps with .0357" risers and a total width of 3.5" to give a 7:1 ratio, but the only way I can see to cut all these descending pockets is to run 14 different toolpaths, which means I have to stand right there and run each toolpath individually.

Is there a way to run this as one complete tool path?

Thanks

Jim - Just select all 14 toolpaths at once before you save them as a .sbp file. This only works, as long as they are all using the same cutter. The toolpaths will cut in the order that they are listed in the Vectric software.
