V-Bit Carving panel — Width and Depth of Cut Information

In the Width and Depth of Cut Information area, click Refresh to calculate the maximum depth and width of the carving pass in the toolpath.

Note: If you have chosen a carving tool with a smaller diameter than the maximum width of the carving pass, ArtCAM makes multiple passes to clear the specified width of the carving pass.

After the calculation process is complete, the maximum depth and width of the carving pass are displayed.

Note: If the maximum depth of the carving pass is greater than the thickness of the material block, a message dialog is displayed warning that the toolpath will cut through the bottom of the material block. To overcome this problem, you can select a different Carving tool with an angled edge, limit the maximum depth of the tool or use a thicker block of material.
