Is it possible to make a square pocket cut and have 45° angle sloped walls? If so, how do you do it? Thanks alot in advance
I may be misunderstanding, but you could do a pocket and finish with a 90° V-bit.
What software?
In Create Pro, you’d do this easily with an advanced V-Carve.
In Create (non-Pro), you’d make a pocket and follow up with a 90° bit on an offset contour.
V-Carve woud just be a V-Carve.
Easel (non-pro) like Create (non-pro).
Easel Pro would be a two stage carve with the 90 as the detail bit.
Fusion 360 would be setup kind of like Create (non-pro).
F-engrave could do it just like Pro or V-Carve.

I would cut the pocket with a regular end mill, then use a 90deg v-bit and run an inside profile cut, but tell the g-code generating program the bit is only 0.01" diameter. Then it will just cut inside that profile and give you a 45deg wall.

Sorry Niel,
I do have CC Pro and I’ll try that and see how it works out
Mad,
I’m gonna try that out as well and post to to show you how it came out

I don’t think Advanced VCarve is a CC Pro feature. It just requires regular CC and a BitSetter.

That second part is the step I needed… thanks!
If you want the corners of the sloped walls to be square then I think you need an advanced V-carve.
