CNC Output

Post by Dan1931 »

Hi Art: I was going through your out put tutorial. In the tutorial in the output box you have a CNC in the 4th box.
I am using Ver. 2.271 and instead of a CNC out put I have a Question mark Box which brings up a screen that talks bout a bunch of videos and other tutorials.
I have a 5 axis Legacy CNC machine. I would like to cut some of these gears out of wood.
Spur and other flat gears are easy. I would like to try bevel gears.
How do I get the CNC for outputting Gcode to cut these gears??

Art: i got my answer. Going through a CAM  tutorial at the end it explained that the CNC module would go away in later versions.
With the introduction of the new workbench Auto cut replaces CNC.
Thank you
Dan

Hi Dan:

  Bevels are the one item you cannot yet cut.. they are normally done on a 6 axis milling machine.. so we'll have a module eventually
thats experimental at first as we try to find the best way to do that.. meanwile you can only print them...
