Reverse Side Machining of Divisions

Sometimes divisions will have shelves on both sides, which would require the shelf holes to be drilled right through the division, otherwise the part would have to be re-machined for the holes on the reverse side.

CabMaster already has an option to allow the holes on the reverse side to be drilled through the part (allowing all machining to be done in one face). However, if this is not used it will automatically output the machining for the reverse side into a separate DXF file.

These DXFs will be output into a separate subfolder within the material for the job. The name of this subfolder is the same as for the front face of the division except with “-Opp” appended to it. For example, if the division is in a folder called “Carcass White” then the machining for the reverse faces will be in “Carcass White-Opp”.

The reverse side machining referred to is the ability to machine ‘through’ the division. For example, if a shelf attaches to the opposite face of the division to that being machined, then the holes for it are machined and go all the way through the part.

The following shows the options available:
