Is more than one roughing pass possible?
I am using Maker, is it possible to have more than one roughing pass? When I try to create a roughing pass for a 1/4" end mill and then create a roughing pass for an 1/8" end mill, the 1/8" end mill pass still tries to remove the material the 1/4" end mill has previously removed.

Hi Monte Moore,
Please confirm exactly what type of toolpath you're intending to create in Carveco Maker. For example, Area Clearance or Machine Relief.
Thanks for your time and cooperation.
I am having the same issue. I am using a v-bit carving toolpath and would like to make multiple passes with the roughing tool. I am using a 2mm roughing bit due to the narrow path I am cutting and can't cut to final depth without the risk of breaking the tool. any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Brad Killam,
You can control the number of machining passes through the Stepdown value specified for your chosen Roughing Tool when creating your V-Bit Carving toolpath.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Hi Monte Moore,
You cannot use rest machining in Carveco Maker.
Please upload your Carveco Model file (*.art) using the free WeTransfer service and then share the generated link when replying here. We can then check your toolpath settings.
Thanks again for your time and cooperation.

What is rest machining?
Hi Monte Moore,
Rest machining is a toolpath used to machine the material left behind from a previous cutting tool.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
So rest machining is not possible in Carveco? Both 2d and 3d?
Only available for $250/month in pro version I assume :/
I really don't know, I have and use the Pro side of things, so I know it's there for me, but above support wrote this.
