01 · Your requirements

What do you want to build?

Start with the space, material or task. We’ll propose the construction and components.

The packet proposes stock, a cutter type and workholding. Exact cutter data and your machine limits are needed to finalize cutting settings.

What you need to get started

Your finished part size, wood material, stock thickness, operation, usable machine area and available collet.

What your plan includes

  • Stock blank size and holding margins
  • A candidate cutter type and setup drawing
  • Workholding, zeroing and CAM checks

Does this generate feeds, speeds or G-code?

No. It proposes a setup and identifies the data needed from your exact cutter and machine. Use the linked feed-rate calculator with verified tool data, then simulate and test the setup.

What operations can I plan?

Choose an outside profile, a pocket or V-bit engraving in plywood, MDF, hardwood or softwood. The planner checks the stock envelope against your usable machine area.
