Hi
I am making some cupboards out of laminated chipboard. I am using holding tabs to keep the panels from moving, I have applied a spiral in and out to prevent chipping of the panel edge. The router bit is a 9.52mm compression bit. Generally this is giving a great finish but CamBam reaches the full depth of cut as the tool contacts the panel cut line. As the tool bit breaks through the bottom surface of the material the pressure of the tool bit breaks out a wafer thin 12.5mm circular disc from the bottom surface of the sheet. This leaves a chip on the edge of the panel path. Is there a way you can set CamBam so that it reaches the full cut depth before the tool bit reaches the cut path so that the break through disc is far enough back from the path to ensure the chip in the sheet will not affect the edge of the panel path. The tool is set to cut 1.5mm into the sacrificial material. Setting the tool bit lower to get the bit to break through earlier is impractical and creates other issues.
