Two sides: turn the stock over
A tray has a recess on its face and two runner grooves on its underside, drawn where they are as seen through the stock. In the CNC job's More..., Two sides, Add side two makes a second piece of the job; the grooves' operation is sent To Side two, and the Piece row at the top switches between the sides. Side one also drills two dowel holes on the turn-over line, to place the stock when it is turned.

Clip · 1:01A CNC job from a drawing
A jig plate that is already drawn becomes a program for the router: stock, controller, an operation each for the holes, the pocket and the outline, the pocket moved ahead of the outline with Earlier, the toolpaths drawn over the part, the run time, and Export G-code.
Clip · 39 sA job sheet for the machine
A coat rack board's job has three operations and two cutters. Job sheet..., on the Add operation row of the CNC job window, saves a one-page PDF for whoever runs the machine, and the same as a table: where zero is with a picture of the part, each tool in turn with how deep it goes and how long it takes, and the program files' names in the order to run them.
Clip · 50 sA photo carved as lines and as dots
A picture with a photo's tones is carved two ways with a V-bit: as lines that are wider where the picture is darker, and as dots like old newsprint. The picture window shows each as it will carve, and both end up side by side on one board, in one job, with its run time.
Clip · 56 sA relief from a depth picture
CNC > Carve a picture opens a picture of heights (light is high, dark is low), and the Relief choice shows it lit, as it will carve. Two settings shape it, then Place and carve draws its rectangle on the drawing and opens the CNC job: an end mill roughing, a tapered ball nose finishing, and the run time.
Clip · 40 sFrom a picture to a carving
A phone photo of an emblem on paper is opened from the CNC menu and comes in already traced into outlines. The picture window shows what will be carved, one setting is loosened, and Place and V-carve puts the shapes on the drawing with a V-carve job ready to run.
Clip · 50 sInside corners: dogbone and T-bone
A pocket that a square foot must fit is cleared with a 6 mm cutter, which leaves every inside corner round. In the operation's More..., Inside corners is set to Dogbone and each corner of the path gets a spur out along its middle; set to T-bone, the spur runs along one side. The drawing stays the part as designed: only the cutter's path changes.
