Thanks!

Another request for access to the two stage carve feature. I’m just getting started, but I’ve already run into several projects where this would be very beneficial. Thanks!

Where I am having trouble is getting the 2 bits to cut at exactly the same depth.

  • 1 on the request for access to the two stage carve feature. Can’t wait to give it a go.

Thanks!

@JasonWages @Petesworld @RobertCanning You guys are in!

Would really like to get access to this Two Stage cut feature also pretty please? Thanks.

@MeHerenow Well, since you asked so nicely…

If possible, I would like access to test this feature as well! Thanks!

@Scott2 You got it!

Can you please tell me how I can access the feature now? I’ve looked in the Machine menu and there doesn’t appear to be anything different.

Actually, I just found the usage details in post from Dec 2015. Is that still the current way to use this feature?

Thanks again!

I have been using this for a while now. Before Christmas I made about a dozen copies of an ornament that used 3 bits. The only problem I had was alignment. I started using a 1-2-3 block as a touch plate for all three axis. This worked, but I had to exit easel each time and use universal g code sender to align the bits. An easy to use alignment function in easel would be fantastic.

The only other change I think would dramatically improve this would be the ability for some cuts to be “finished” with the roughing pass so I don’t have to wait on the tiny detail bit.

Great upgrade!

Raw G-Code can be sent via the Machine Inspector window of Easel. There is no need to exit. I use my OS’s “Sticky Notes” and copy the paste the lines into Easel. I think it takes the same amount of time, but this way you don’t have to switch applications.

I would like to access this feature as well, please.

@DavidYoung You’re in!

@MeHerenow You should now see a “+” sign between your bit and “Cut settings”:

I would like to try this feature. Will this work with the new gcode sender test feature?

Could I please get access to this? Thanks.

@DanielPotthast @MitchWillard You guys both have access!

This feature does not work with g-code sending. If would have to create two gcode files and send them separately to mimic this feature .

I would also like access to this feature. Thanks in advance!

I am new to cnc carving, and this was the first thing I thought about on my very first carve. I would love to test this feature, please!
