Question when V carving and pocketing Estlcam

So I’m making backgammon pips and I’m using a 60° V bit which is working fine and I’m clearing out the pocket using an 8th inch end mill. My question is is there a way to force Estlcam to clear it out, using parallel rather than linear?

i’ve tried utilizing two separate G code files, but it never looks as good

No, not for carves.

Since theEstlcam can’t be forced,Is there Anyway to alter it in the G code with a text editor before sending to the jackpot SD card?

If it’s trammed well you shouldn’t see any difference. Or hardly. :slight_smile:

No. The gcode is XY coordinates and you’d have to recompute them to change it.
