Island pockets can be created automatically by selecting inner and outer polylines then inserting a pocket as usual. The pockets can then be tested with a previously cut inlay for a good fit. Roughing clearance can be adjusted while the stock is still mounted in the CNC machine. The Roughing Clearance can be adjusted so the positive and negative shapes fit very closely. This is very useful when making inlays or die cutting.
If a negative Roughing Clearance value is specified, the geometry will be over cut by this amount. This stock can then be removed using a later finishing profile. Enter a small value here to specify how much stock to leave remaining between the walls of
This will be the depth of stock removed at the bottom pass of the pocket.Īnother useful parameter is Roughing Clearance. To ensure a final light finishing pass at the lowest level cut, enter a small value in the Final Depth Increment property (0.1mm, 0.004”). The distance between each cut level is specified in the Depth Increment property. If stock surface is at zero then the target depth should be negative.ĬamBam can cut deep pockets by generating toolpaths at progressively deeper cutting levels. The important thing to remember is that the Target Depth should be lower than Stock Surface. įor pocketing basics, please see the Stepper Mount tutorial in Getting Started. Select the heart shape then insert a pocket machine operation using the pocket tool.
