To program a bevel cut requires the file to be processed through the QuickCAM Pro software package.
This walkthrough will cover importing a basic shape (DXF), apply two separate bevel cuts, and export the G-CODE
for the machine to cut.
DXF Part:
To start, have a DXF part from your CAD software generated.
Launch the QuickCAM Bevel software by double clicking the icon.
Once open, a launcher will show all of the options that are available. Select DRAW.
The software will open and DRAWING TYPES window will display. Enter
in a SHEET LENGTH and SHEET WIDTH. This measurement will default
to 120" x 60". The toggle between metric and Imperial measurements
is available in the drop down.
Then press OK.
Create a Bevel Cut
In the upper left corner, select the FOLDER or go to FILE/
OPEN.
Once the WINDOWS BROWSE dialog opens, change the
FILE TYPE to DXF. This will allow you to see only DXF files.
