The cut geometry will be adjusted automatically.Ĭut Depth Adjustment: This adjusts the depth of cut, without affecting the geometry of the the tool path as Cut Depth does. This is useful for insetting drawer sides from the fronts as would be required to cover hardware, known as a rabbeted dovetail joint.Ĭut Depth: Any depth your tool can handle is valid. Pin Length Adjustment: This setting will vary the length of the cut in the Pin Part only. It has no effect on half-tails or half-pins tool paths. This adjustment only affects Fixed Start tool paths. Offset Adjustment: This adjustment will change the distance from the edge of the material to the first pin/tail. Score Direction: Only affects the scoring pass. Score Depth: This is intended only for small depth cuts to score the face of the material, preventing tearout during the rest of the milling operations. Shoulder Depth: This is the distance from the face of the material to the base of the pins. Tool Angle: This information is not stored in the Mach3 Tool Table, you will have to enter it manually. Select Tool: Selecting a tool from your Mach3 Tool Table will apply it's associated Z offset. Use ES mode if you can't get a satisfactory CV mode cut. Setting it to 89 seemed to work well for most situations, although radius cutting still suffered from "rounding off". Using CV mode and setting your Mach3 Stop CV on angles setting to 90 as advised in this Mach3 CV Settings document should run ok.
You'll have to test with your machine the best settings for you. This will leave the pin cut short of it's intended length and will also alter the radius on the pin and tail cuts, causing the cut parts to not fit flush when assembled.Įxact Stop (G61) mode will cut the complete tool path to the end, although the machine may not run as smooth. The amount of corner rounding will depend on your machine's acceleration, and other factors.
Constant Velocity (G64) mode will cause the cutter to round the corners enough that the cutting tool may never reach the end of the tool path in the corners. G61/G64 modes: The tail cut effectively makes a 180 ° turn at the end of it's path (single axis direction change) when cutting a minimum size (tool dia) dovetail, and 90° turns otherwise. To use Dovetail Wizard, your machine must be able to operate over the edge of your machine, or you must be able to mount your material vertically through your table. One bit can cut any size dovetail, bit diameter and larger.Ĭuts any size single dovetail up to the travel of your table.Ĭan cut a dovetail length of any size located any position from the face of the material.Ĭan center the dovetails on your workpiece, or use a fixed start for production work.Ĭan cut rabbet-ready dovetail joints, allowing drawer fronts to overhang the sides.Ĭan operate in four directions: X, -X, Y, and -YĬan cut a type of "through dovetail" joint by setting the cut depth to the material thickness It cuts pin and tail pairs, or pin and tail parts separately.Īccepts any diameter bit with any bit angle. Cuts Half Blind Dovetail Joints as wide as your machine can travel.Ĭuts left and right pairs, or left and right parts separately.
