CamBam help (General usage) / Cutting a step

« on: January 11, 2013, 17:06:31 pm »

Lets say you have a board 12inches long and 4 inches wide and 3/4 thick. I want to cut a step in the middle of the
board 2 inches wide and 3/8 deep how do I program that. Cambam kept complaining about open poly lines.



                                                                  Thanks
