Is there a specific way anyone does shower pan milling in alphacam? I have played around with the add in in alphacam but haven't got a exact answer as to what tools they are using. We have a custom farm sink coming up and I would like to go about it the most efficient way tool wise and programming. Any input would greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Zach,
I use a stubbing wheel on a reverse thread holder-I use my Saber saw. GQ has a 51mm. Use the shower pan function under the Machine tab. Drill your drain hole first. Always start in the hole and path outwards. Im relatively new to this but its not very complicated. There are other members who have much more experience with this process than I do, perhaps they will chime in. We are building a double bowl apron front today. Btw for future reference-I prefer to discuss such matters in the Members Lounge.

Thanks Colin and we’ve played with it just not past a program no test piece or anything. Will keep that in mind next time I’m posting. Any two cents is much appreciated.
