  1. Thanks Again Guys. In the Past and Currently, I am drawing a 2 d geometry over top of any "grooves" that I absolutely need to. I should clear up the thought process a bit. I am importing Solid bodies from designs of others doing. The solids have the "grooves" with in them that I need to cut. I use the bottom face of the groove for the geometry that I want too cut. It is natural that the tool will not run past the end of that face. Therefore it leaves the rounded corner matching the tool in every corner of that face. You can change the size of the groove in the x, y by changing the "Stock to Leave on Walls". but it does it in both the x and y. would be good if I could leave/remove stock only in the y or the x. Thanks Much for the Ideas. Jeff Flowers Louisville Lumber and Millwork
  2. Thanks Colin for the info. I have played with the contour function in this way some. I have however, found that it is usually more useful for me to use pockets to run my grooves. Any suggestions using a pocket?
  3. Good Day all. In setting up grooves for Blind Dado's, I need to extend the groove at the ends. This is usually only on a "x" or "y" axis and approximate half the thickness of the tool being used. Is there a way that I am not finding to do this? a "trick" of sorts, or a feature I am not finding. Currently using 2018. Thanks for the help......... Jeff
