Do I use a ‘profiling tool’ profile to define it?
Or do I use the ‘tool with radius’ and put in a negative radius?
Anyone tried to do this with this type of bit?
I have done some fluted panels using ths type but used it as profiles bits running along the vector (just inported the straight lines (calculated the fluted form from sketchup)
These are my settings for a 2mm roundover endmill. There is a tutorial by Christian from Estlcam where he explains how it works. I set the height lower and the diameter a little bigger so that I would not have some edges if the wood is a little off.
Philipp I’m looking for that tutorial and haven’t found it yet. I only know how to say cookies please in German . If you come across it, please post. I’ll still look since what I did, didn’t seem correct.
It helped a little. I’m guessing EstlCAM doesn’t care about the radius and leaves that up to me to determine how deep to go as Cesar does/said. If so then I think I get it and will need to experiment with it.
