As Steve poin
My subroutines for metal, divide the total depth by allowable cut
depth, this gives a number of passes and a finishing cut.
so the subroutine is given a total and a step size and works it out
itself ,continues till finished , this being in an outer loop to count
instances around the gear

You've covered almost everything, Kirk. It's a few years now since I did much
routing [1], in kiln dried Australian hardwoods and a little in waxy tropical
hardwoods. I'd only emphasise t

Unfortunately, CNCZone isn't the best place
Hi Alan,
I can't tell you what the best practices are but I can tell you what the
CAM software that I have used does. It will normally cut the entire
path to a the specified width and depth leaving some material to be
removed in the finish pass. A lot depends on what you are making, from

Hello everyone,
I hope someone on this forum can offer some advice. I asked this

Perhaps I didnt word it clearly enough so can anyone on this forum help?
I am in the process of building a cnc setup onto my wood lathe, to
