Planing from high to low....

[joewinslow]

All,

Using the ShopBot ArtCam partwizard, is there some way for me to machine a sloped surface? I have some intricate wings on an eagle I'm routing and want to give the leading edge of the wing feathers a little tilt up and out away from the surface????

Also need to round off the top of some rectangluar shapes to make them appear as tubes... Get my drift?

Any thoughts?

Stephen,
Not really. You have 2 options using the tools you already have. 1) Use shaped cutters, like roundover, ball/corebox and Vbits to get you close to where you want to be. 2) Program your own cut file that moves the tool exactly how you want or pay someone a modest fee to program the toolpath for you that owns ArtCAM (or other more advanced package) or have someone else program the tool to do what you want it to.
