I need to mill a slot the same size as the router bit

Hi All,

I use ArtCAM and can design & mill straight forward shapes with area clearences, inside and outside profiles, etc. This one thing defeats me. I want to mill a 10mm wide slot, 30mm deep, using a 10mm router bit. How do I get ArtCAM to let the router bit just run up and down the slot until it reaches 30mm, exactly 10mm wide?

Cheers

Gary

Tell ArtCAM that the endmill is 9.98mm rather than 10mm, that's what I do in CamBam.

Can't you just draw a line or vector and use a profile toolpath on the line?

Gerry, that will work if you do an engrave operation.
