G-Code output can be customized to work with Mach3/Mach4, LinuxCNC, WinCNC and others.įor Shopbot machines, JointCAM supports Dual Z axis machines, as well as ATC machines. JointCAM can produce both standard g-code (RS-274D) or Shopbot OpenSBP language files. In addition, much effort has gone into the toolpaths to minimize tearout and chipping. JointCAM's toolpaths are optimized to give smooth motion, using arcs whenever possible during direction changes. JointCAM displays a preview of the joint before you export the g-code, allowing you to quickly see the end result as you adjust the parameters to achieve the ideal joint for your specific application. JointCAM can create these traditional box joints, along with automatically created variable spaced box joints, and completely custom user defined box joints. Traditional box joint jigs were limited to simple, evenly spaced joints with equal size fingers. The only limit is the length of the bit being used. JointCAM gives you the freedom to design an infinite variety of dovetail joints, regardless of the bit being used. Typical router cut dovetails are limited in depth (length), width and spacing by the specific bit being used. JointCAM currently has half blind dovetail, through dovetail, both standard and rounded box joint capabilities, and mortise and tenon joints. Just set a few basic parameters, and JointCAM will automatically create the toolpaths and export the g-code for your CNC router. JointCAM makes creating dovetail and box joints easy. Now, JointCAM brings box joint capabilities to your CNC router. Previously, this involved complex CAD drawings, followed by tedious CAM work setting up toolpaths.īox joints have been traditionally cut using jigs on table saws and router tables. JointCAM can take you from idea to finished joint, quickly, and easily.ĬNC Dovetails, Box Joints, and Mortise and Tenon jointsįor years, CNC router users have been looking for a method to easily create toolpaths and g-code to cut dovetail joints on their machines. JointCAM makes it easy to layout and design woodworking joints without the complicated and time consuming CAD/CAM process normally needed.
