Help setting up two sided milling

[BobE]

Hi Magiciner,

Thanks for your reply. I have bought Boxford's latest software control package with a refurbished A3HSRi2/auto 4th axis. I will be working exclusively in hardwood.

I was thinking of getting V Carve Pro for carving and text. Also to import STL files and export tool paths to the Boxford control software. This was my anticipated workflow, but I have found out that it will create a batch for single sided production, but only for a single component 2 sided.

As you will have realised, I am completely new to all this. Your thoughts on any alternative workflow would be most appreciated.

You just cam Side 1 and Side 2 as two separate jobs, you have to plan your own set ups to ensure alignment.

Hi Magiciner,

Thanks for your thoughts and sorry for the late reply.

It's starting to make sense now and I can see what I need to do.

Doing it is another matter, but I'll get there be it takes a little while.

Bob
