Many of you have probably seen the drag knife tool I developed. If you haven't just visit the donek tools web site. Shopbot kindly allowed me to display and demo the device in their booth at IWF, where I showed it's veneer cutting capabilities. I owe them a huge thanks for that opportunity. They are, by the way, now a dealer, so you can purchase the tool from Shopbot if you like.

I have just finished the development of a tool for adding corner actions to your shopbot code. This tool is actually an excel spreadsheet. You simply enter your pertinent parameters and click the "Add Corner Actions to a File" button. You are prompted for an input and output file. The output file contains all the necessary additional code at the corners of your tool path to reorient the knife and cut sharp corners.

You can download this tool here:

If you own a Donek Drag Knife, this is the tool you have been waiting for. Please put it through it's paces and let me know how it works for you.

I will be generating a program shortly that will allow you to specify the dimensions of a cardboard box and cut and score the cardboard with your drag knife and shopbot.
