Drag knife on right corners? Is what I see correct?

Post by dgtlsheet »

Hi all,

I'm using a donek D4 drag knife with 4mm of offset on 3.5mm corrugated cardboard.

Tool cutdepth: 3.5mm
Tool depth per pass: 3.5mm
Tool swivel depth: 0.01mm
Tool feed rate: 500mm/min

Operations cutdepth: 3.5mm
Operations depth per pass: 3.5mm
Operations offset amount: 0.001mm
Operations contour method: No Offset

My question is - is my expectations of what should happen on right corners correct? The knife should re-orientate (I see the correct drag knife path in sheetcam)

I don't seem to be able to loose the edges on the corners of the actions on the cardboard, I've tried various offset settings

Sorry for the inline images, attachments dont seem to work here. and only one image showed

So I guess at this point, I'm not sure if my expectations are what should be happening? I would expect it will be able to at best make the right angle corners but perhaps miss some of the cut?
