I was trying to figure out how this thing works also, and this is the only video I've found. Thanks I think someone mentioned the setup in the CAD software - that would definitely be helpful!

Hello, How many offset does the knife have with the center of the tool? Thank you

What kinds of things do you make with a drag knife?

Yes, please tell us more about the software. Maybe a video showing how you set it all up?

Great vid Craig! I like the slo-mo. Did you get past the dips that were leaving places uncut?

@craigsmachineshop2040 8 жыл бұрын

Thanks Mike! Yeah, seams to be working better now. I think I will still make another top like you suggested though with more smaller holes. Thanks!

Craig. Great video. What cnc machine would you recommend for a beginner trying to cut foam board with this set up at home?

@craigsmachineshop2040 4 жыл бұрын

If you are just cutting foam board then you can probably just get an inexpensive cnc router. Not really familiar with all the cnc routers out there. You can probably just look on Ebay or Amazon.

What software do you use? I have some sharp corner problems with my homemade one.😊

@craigsmachineshop2040 8 жыл бұрын

I am using sheetcam with the dragknife plugin. Not sire if there is a free option. Cool on making one!

@CNC4XR7 8 жыл бұрын

very neat Yeah is it a Special software? by Donek?

@craigsmachineshop2040 8 жыл бұрын

No, its Sheetcam. I wish Fusion 360 had dragknife functionality.

Thanks for a great video. What specs CNC would u recommend for this knife? My wife make Headstalls and leather goods for horses. She would be cutting a maximum of 3/8" leather.

@craigsmachineshop2040 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! A decent CNC router I would guess. Not sure of all the models. You should check with Donek about the thickness. Might need multiple passes at that thickness.

@Tensquaremetreworkshop 4 жыл бұрын

I am struggling to see where the price comes from. A decent router costs less. I thought Festool had ridiculous prices, but this caps it.

@craigsmachineshop2040 4 жыл бұрын

Mine has cut probably over 10K gaskets, so it has paid for itself many times over.

For the same reason Nike's are more expensive. The price is way over the top - but people are stupid enough to buy

@craigsmachineshop2040 8 жыл бұрын

Yeah, Pretty much. I will probably still make another top with 1/8" holes instead of 1/4".

you have a full CNC you could have easily made this tool yourself in half a day.

@craigsmachineshop2040 7 жыл бұрын

I don't have a Lathe though. Would have been a nice project though.

@woodfinchcrafts7267 2 жыл бұрын

CNC lathe plus CNC router - that would make one of these with almost no manual intervention. I know because I have both, and churned out a lot of bushings
