Does the toolpath need to be modified for the knife to swivel and cut sharp corner like the Donek drag knife? For Vectric software, do you need to use the drag knife gadget?
No, the knife is not as large as on the Donek, so it does not require swivel tool paths to pivot. It works with a standard profile (on the line) tool path
Yes it could. You would need to make a tool holder for your CNC that has a 43mm diameter hole to attach the drag knife. Then you simply use your CAM software to cut on the line of the vectors.
Nice video
Thanks from holland
Really wonder if if could cut
leather with this 🤔

I want to know this as well... I use Sheetcam with Mach 3 post processor on my router. Would love to try this.

@@StepcraftInc are you saying any gcode for cutting will work? Like a freecad/inkscape generated tool path?
Drag knife can be used with 3rd gen D series machines?

What software are you using? And what parameters have to be changed for the knife?
we are using Vectric software - VCarve or Cut 2D - just create an end mill tool with a .004" cut diameter and setup your cut on the lines.
if the material i want to cut is 2mm thick?
Salve. Puo tagliare fogli guarnizione abestofree. Da 1 mm di spessore ?
what software do you use?
This was done with Vectric V Carve (desktop or pro - does not matter)
We use Sheetcam with Mach 3 post process on our router. Will that work with this device?
