PutiaCNC 0.4.2
What's new in 0.4.2
New
- Surface the stock (Edit → Surface the stock…): flattens the top of the stock, or the spoilboard, with a wide flat cutter. The widest flat cutter is suggested (your surfacing bit if you have one). Set the depth, pass depth and stepover, and choose to run it before the other operations, or as an air cut. For the spoilboard it can make the stock the size of the machine's work area. It adds an ordinary Pocket operation over a rectangle one cutter radius larger than the stock, so the whole surface is cleared and you can still edit it in the Operations panel.
- Setup sheet (File → Setup sheet…): saves a printable page with the stock and zero, the tools in order, the operations with times, a before-you-start checklist, warnings and your notes.
- A second sample project (Help → Try a sample → Finger-joint box): the five plates of an open box with finger joints, sized to your stock and machine. Try a sample is now a submenu.
Improved
- The setup assistant's last page tells you there are several sample projects, and it shows the program's own icon instead of a placeholder letter.
Testing
- The dialog audit covers the Surface window, and a test checks surfacing covers the whole stock and can be undone.
