Re: Best way to make gussets?

This year we are cutting gussets on a X-Carve CNC router. 500mmx500mm unit. Bought a base kit and sourced other components to keep the cost down. Have about 700$ plus some end mills in it. Took some time to learn the process to get good cuts. It's great for making gussets. Our side plates for the tank drive module were done by water jet. Even if our router was big enough to do the side plates it would have taken for ever. We model in solid works. We have been going Solid Works -> Inkscape -> Easel for the software. If we had time to master it we would have used HMS express.
