easy programming to size cabinet doors.

[Andrew Kreutter]

We build our doors 1/16" oversized. We currently run them through a shaper to trim them to size. We end up with a number of problems with door size and out of square. I am thinking I want to cut them to size with the bot. I am thinking I want to take 1/64 per pass with a clime cut to avoid chip out on corners? What is the best way to program this on the fly so a operator could just enter the size without the need to draw and tool path each door size? All our cabinets are a inset door and this is why we need the perfectly square and correct size.

I would tell my ecabs software that it was about to cut slab doors or setup Vcarve to run around them - you could name the cut file to the size

Would you be able to use the CR command to do it? You'd need to configure the bit settings with the VC command.

I will try the cr command and see if I can make it work. Thanks
