    Tangential knife

    I have built a gantry router machine and I have now installed a tangential knife on an A axes. I have watched the video on importing a dxf file for a tangential knife but I am confused as to how the cam file moves the knife angle. Is it the cam program that does this or is it the post processor?
    Software version 14.6.2017.3 and machine running Linux CNC program
    Thank

    Re: Tangential knife

    Hello Jan,

    To keep the knife tangential to the workpiece is a post function.

    Please contact us info@dolphincadcam.com and we'll talk you through the process.

    regards
    Andre
