I am trying to figure out the best way to cut a curve,i am using a
fly cutter with the taig mill with cnc,the work is a clarinet
mouthpiece,the table of the mouthpiece is flat and when the lay part
of the mouthpiece starts there is a curve.would i be best to try
and go straght to mach 1 or other cnc software and input the G code
or make a curve in a cad program like rhino or ironcad and then then
convert that to tool paths with another program,i am not sure of the
tool paths to use yet bearing in mind i am using a castingwhich
allready has a curve ,i just have to cut it down further,the best
way to work out the g code reallyif anyone has any suggestions on
how the best way to do it that would be great.Thanks
