Sampler board: every toolpath type

by GCarve

About this project

One board that shows what each toolpath does: profile, pocket, drill, V-carve lettering, bore, flute and more. Handy for testing a new machine or bit set before a real job.

How to make it

1. Open in GCarve: it opens in your browser (or download the .tlp for the desktop app).
2. Make it yours: pick your machine, match the bits to the ones you have and set your board thickness. GCarve fits the toolpaths and suggests feeds for your machine.
3. Simulate the cut in 3D and look it over.
4. Export G-code for your controller and cut it.
