I want to front mount a speaker. My drawing has an outer circle and a smaller inner circle.

How do I create a toolpath to cut the area between the two circles 1/4" deep (this is where the outer flange of the speaker will go)?

This area is about 7/8" wide, and its ok if I overlap somewhat into the inner circle because I am going to cut that circle completely out in another step.

Thanks!

Exactly!

How do I create that toolpath in PartWorks?

Thanks!

Just like Scott said. Set the pocket toolpath for 1/4" deep. and the inside profile to cut thru the material thickness. You can draw these circles directly in PartWorks or another drawing program and then export to PartWorks.
