The basic premise of this post, is that you can take any bump, jpeg, gif, PNG's and use it as a desktop image and begin designing a complete copy of the part from an image.Īsk if need be about questions you have.Layering, parts, active parts, active layers, enabling MOPS or disabling MOPS. You can easily add different sections ( considered "parts" ) to the existing part, by clicking " Machining" -add new part and begin a new MOP from a different layer. You can easily add layers for different areas, ask me how. While the lines are highlighted, right click join. Then hold Control + P to convert all to poly lines. To combine arcs and poly lines to a region you want to mill, chose the layer(s) that hold the arcs and poly lines, and right click, edit and click explode. You now can begin using arcs, lines and circles to begin drawing the image. ( adjust as necessary ) you can now see right through Cambam, and trace the desktop image using Arcs and Polygons. Drill string holes (.125 drill) and route string ferrule countersinks (.25 spiral router) Step 3. no tile, not fill screen, just center the best copy you have, in the best resolution on your desktop as an image. Mount blank (16'x13'x1.75' with back up) on the router, drill registration holes (.25 drill) through the blank and into a sacrificial board mounted to the table. Take a photo, take a jpeg, take anything you want to design and set the image as a desktop photo.
#CAMBAM CNC COUNTERSINK HOW TO#
I'm going to explain how to get any image into a working solution, where you can setup Cambam to mill that part within a few hours at best. If I fail to clearly explain just how easy this step is, feel free to ask me a question.
