Here we’ll use the Showboat Desktop to cut an applebox side panel, which is slightly different from the top panel we cut last time–rather than having rounded edges on all four sides, they only need roundovers on the two short edges. So we’ll show you how to make a non-continuous profile toolpath. (It’s dead simple.)
We’ll also reiterate the three basic values you’ll need to input when creating a toolpath. Those are:
1. How deep to cut
2. Which bit to use
3. Which side of the line to cut to
As always, later on we’ll get into the more complicated micro-settings; but for now grasping these three things above will help you understand how to run one of these machines.
