Is there MACH3 technique to compensate for the knife offset so that the drag knife cuts sharp corners?I purchased a drag knife for use with my setup. The drag knife cuts nice but I can't get sharp angle changes because the knife cuts across all the corners. Ideally the knife would continue past a corner just a bit then the tool would be moved in an arc around the pivot point before starting the next leg of the path.
Drag Knife User Manual Programming Tips From User Manual: "Create your CAD/CAM file (G-Code) using the same software and methods used to create standard 2-D cut files. To prevent incomplete cuts and ensure sharp, angular, cuts and corners, avoid using radius value less than 0.05 inch. By programming line overruns and ensuring start points are located on straight-line segments, the knife edge will point in the correct direction at the begging of each cut and manual material trimming will be reduced."
..."If using CAM software, use “Lead in, Lead out”, “Additional approach,” “Along Curve” or similar functionality."
