Thanks for reply.

I have worked out how to move post left and right on the string but cant seem to move back and forward. Is this set ate the setup isaac had set this up originaly. How can i acess video he sent when we were seting up? Will anyone be responding tomorrow on forum?

Hi Sean,

There might be some confusion in the communication. Currently, we can not round the step nose, which leaves only a square notch in the stringboard for the steps. However, this is being discussed with the developers. We will keep you up to date on this.

 

What can be done is recess the step notch so that the first part of the step will not penetrate the stringboard but will be positioned (pressed) against it. This allows you to create the rounding of your step without having to do any additional work on the stringboard. 

 

As you can see on the 3D of the step there is a front notch inserted via the program. 

 

Here is the view of the stringboard. The red arrow shows where the step front is and the green arrow where the notch stops in the strignboard. This system just avoid gaps due to wood retracting which will show a gap if the step would completely be notched inside the stringboard.

 

 

 

Next, in the postprocessor, it is possible to extend the stringboard notch to compensate for the tool radius. For example, if you use an 18mm cutter for your steps, it leaves a radius of 9mm on the step notch. By extending the stringboard notch by 10mm, you compensate for the tool radius. This avoids the need to square the steps to fit them inside the stringboard. 

 

 

Here, you see the DXF output for the stringboard and the step (magenta). I aligned these. The back of the step aligns with the back of the notch. The front of the step overpasses the stringboard notch by 8mm. 

The radius of 9 mm left on the step recess by an 18mm cutter is compensated by the extension of the stringboard notch by 10mm. 

This is only an example, and these settings might vary depending on the bullnose radius you would like to apply to avoid any gaps. 

 

 

I hope this is a bit clearer on what we wanted to explain.

Regards

Michel

Hi,

For bulnose, unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment,

A request will be sent shortly to the development team to find out what stage has been reached on this point, which has already been requested.

Today, our customer’s made tenon with front recess then make it manually 

Cheers, Alex

  

Hi Alex .

Thanks for reply.

i really think  some of your other customers has come up with a solution. This prosess would really not work for me the fact is that the time i would wast cutting notch out and prosess would take to much time and with nosing in some places would show a gap.

  

 Hi Alex.

I really now am starting to think this software isn’t for me i mainly make cheaper stairs for developments ect.this software isnt going to speed up process if i use suggestions yourself and isaac have recommended.
