Open Shape and Center Cutting Cycles

 

There may be several instances where cutting an open shape is desirable.  One instance may be to use a profile or shaper tool to cut a visible edge, leaving the profile shape in the material.  In that instance you need a cycle where you can control the cut side and direction of the cut to perform either a climb or conventional cut.

 

Center cutting cycles are also in this section.  There are many instances where cutting a shape on center with no offset is necessary, such as engraving or slotting.  Router-CIM has several cycles available to allow complete control over the cutting conditions.

 

The descriptions given for each cycle will explain the various parameters available and how they function.

 

There are some examples used for each cycle and those drawings are available to download.  A link is provided in each section.
