As soon as my buddy found out that I got my mill going, he made a request for a milled aluminum cross. I drew out a basic cross in Draftsight and it looks right:
When I import it in Cut2D, it looks right, so I don't suspect anything wrong here. After I create the toolpath with the tool running on the OUTSIDE of the piece, I get this crummy result:
If I set the tool to cut ON the line, I actually get this much better looking result:
I don't understand why this one looks right. I would have expected the cutter to cut along the outside of the toolpath. Even when cutting on the line, I don't understand why I loose the rounded corners.
I'm just getting started with this now that I can actually make cuts, but I didn't expect something this simple to be such a headache.
Thanks!
