    Hi there. Newby here...
    I need to resurface my spoilboard and found the Wizzard - the only problem I have, is that I need to change toolpath/pattern from Raster(left to right) to an Offset Pattern(start from center and work outwards) - I need to trim my X & Y Axis Fence straight by 1 or 2mm at the same time.
    Is there a way to change it or do I need to look for another software that can do it...?
    Thanking you in advance.

    Our Wizard does trim the left and right sides as well upon completion of the Raster pattern

    Alternatively, you can use a CAM application for more control (a surfacing job is just a pocket operation on a large rectangle)

    Oh ok thank you - I didn't watch the entire simulation til the end - but I'll give it a bash.
    Yes I also considered the pocket operation, but will it do an overlap % as well...?

    If your CAM doesn't support Stepover (; you need to find a better CAM :)
