Hi,

How do you get Luban to change it’s tool path method when carving?

I am trying to get it to carve a fillet on the edge of a large rectangle, but instead of looping around the boundary like any sensible tool would do, it is creating a linear carve pattern back and forth, adding an insane amount of wasted movement.

I can’t see any options for this in Luban?

Thanks

As far as cnc goes, Luban is extremely basic and barely beta software.  
For actual control of toolpaths you’ll need to use a real CAM program like Fusion 360.
