Chapter 9: Bits & Bit Selection
Routing
Routing is applying a bit to a path at a set depth. This function can be done on any drawing element or outline.
To create a rout, select the desired geometry then press the Select Bit button from the Tools pull down menu or
the Tools toolbar. A dialog will open showing all of the bits available.
Figure 9�1� Select Bit Dialog
Select the desired bit, enter the desired depth and press ‘OK’ to apply the bit. The default depth varies by bit.
Once a rout has been applied the depth may be changed in the Depth Entry Box on the Input Toolbar. To change
the bit press the Select Bit button and select the bit. The “No Bit” button may be pressed to deselect any bit
which will tyrn the input and depth boxes red indicating invalid values. Clicking the ‘No Bit’ button will revert
the selected gure back to a dotted path.
Possible Machine Damage
Warning! Never try to use a Rout to cut a piece out of a board. The piece can get
caught by the spinning bit and cause damage to the CarveWright/CompuCarve
machine. Use the Cut Path option explained later in this chapter or jig if rout cut
through can not be avoided.
