Probably should cut the insides out first before the outside. Although in your case the "O's" did not have an inside.
Hola, excelente, el motor que sostiene a la cuchilla está energizado como para girar hacia la dirección de corte? Si es asi, podrias explicar como es su conexión con la placa por favor? Muchas gracias.
How about 1/4" thick of aluminum.Can be able to cut also?
I have a Donek D2. But struggle with the offset setting. We would like to print on coroplast or foamboard, and then use the Donek to cut on the line so we get nice clean cuts for perfect cutouts. Assuming we have a 4x8' sheet of foamboard or coroplast down, and full=body picture of a person-centered on the board and our normal starting position lower left on the vcarve screen. How do we set home with the Donek? Normally we set standard endmill bits home in the lower left hand corner of our substrate and them the CNC cuts out the image on the outside line. Do we just input a correct offset for the d2 blade, put that blade in the same corner ? We seem to get mixed results and I'd love to nail it so it hits the line perfectly. Thanks for any video showing how you print on a substrate then setup mach3, and home the blade to cut on the line. That would be helpful...
Hi Michael, if you could email your full inquiry to sales@ooznest.co.uk, then one of our team will be able to help and answer your question.
You must use one with camera scan line
Nice video! Can you cut fabric with the drag knife?
Yes, as long as it is tensioned enough when secured to your wasteboard.
Hi! How is the knife changing direction? Just with friction as it gets dragged along? Are there any open source programs I could generate cut paths with? Thanks!!
Yes it follows the path as it is dragged. On sharp corners, you can do a swivel to make it turn 90 degrees. Here is a link to some software you can use: donektools.com/free-cnc-router-software/
Hi thanks for your input, can you please tell me if this will cut foam board 5mm but in some cases i don't want the cut right ture can this be done with vcarve software. Thanks
Hi, this can cut foam board, but if you do not want to cut the whole through, and considering it is 5mm thick, you may be better off with an endmill? VCarve has a drag knife gadget.
Thanks for this. I'm looking to rent a small CNC machine similar to what you have there for a show and using the drag knife. Can you suggest a model to go for?
Hi. I am afraid we only sell machines, the WorkBee CNC Machine. Would that be of interest to you?
Can you handle 90 degree curves as well or do the angles have to be rounded (radius)?
It can do sharp 90 degree corners, using something called a swivel. The Vectric tool can work these out for you: docs.vectric.com/docs/V9.0/VCarvePro/ENU/Help/Gadgets/Drag%20Knife%20Toolpath/Drag%20Knife%20Toolpath.html
how to add drag knife tool into Victric software? can you give me tool parameters?
See here: docs.vectric.com/docs/V9.0/VCarvePro/ENU/Help/Gadgets/Drag%20Knife%20Toolpath/Drag%20Knife%20Toolpath.html
I'd suggest using a cut mat under your work to prolong the life of your blade and waste board!
Much appreciated!
hello, can your cutting tool be put on a 6mm spindle and if so is it able to cut 10mm coro in a single pass? if so, I will immediately buy your product because I am looking for a cutting tool for coro but which leaves the contours clean
Hi, we sell 6mm collets for our spindles. But you would not be able to cut 10mm corian in one pass I am afraid
@@ooznest thank you for your reply
Are you using a specialized motor? Can I use your tool with the spindle I already have?
Any router/spindle should be fine
@@ooznest
That is, I can use the spindle off and the Aspire program will give you the parameters for the spindle to rotate ?. Thanks for answering me!
@@LuisFlores-iq8sq drag knife works by just moving the point along a line. the spindle idley turn to keep the knife parallel to your direction of motion, as the blade naturally wants to be in a position of least resistance. of course, you will discover limits to how small your details or curves can be.
@@ooznest Pls, how does GRBL move the spindle? Do you work with arduino? How do you do that part? Or is it just turn spindle enable? I'd really appreciate your help with this.
@@edgarmorenomartinez350 Hi Edgar, please see this guide here - learn.ooznest.co.uk/Guide/How+To+Use+WorkBee+Control/22
Will this cut 125mil thickness of A70 rubber hardness?
Hi, i am afraid i think that would be too thick.
Do you have to turn on the router for it to work, or is it off?
Hi Petter! No you would keep the router off at all times as the blade wouldn't spin, it would just move as an attachment to the router with no power.
Can we use it in any cnc machine
Should be able to yes
Do you have a video cutting foamboard 5mm
Hi, I am afraid we don't have such a video. But the machine can cut it, a endmill may be better suited to this.
@@ooznest please link the best product with drag knife for 20x30 inches work area
What numbers did you use to create the Donek Tool in your library?
Hi Don, you should use the knife gadget, at 1:37 you can see our settings.
@@ooznest thanks!
may ı buy this??
We sell them here: ooznest.co.uk/product/donek-drag-knife/
I made mine for just £40 works and looks the same minus the logo.
How much is it then?
That was nice of you to shit all over their attempts to earn a living by selling a product!
Do you have to turn on the router for it to work, or is it off?
@@petterarcos5686 you want to turn off or unplug your router for safety! Don't want razor shrapnel flyin!
@@ScottMoyse I suppose you think making your own food is cheating McDonalds out of money. You tool.
I am looking for a machine, which make profile for PC material - 1 mm thickness. Please recommend a machine.
Hi Shri, we would recommend the WorkBee CNC Machine here: ooznest.co.uk/product/original-workbee-z1plus-cnc-machine/#size-colour

I just use a vinyl cutter
Interesting. You use a vinyl cutter to cut leather, cardboard, rubber, and acrylic? 🤔
@@bemccune7671 I can cut leatehr, carboard, thin rubber, cloth, paper, and vinly, acrylic cant be cut with a drag knife
How come the dewalt router spins so slowly.
it's not spinning at all, it's off.
@@rossclutterbuck1060 hello, the same program turns off the spindle? or first the spindle must be turned off, then run the drag Knife??
@@rossclutterbuck1060 Really??
it doesn't seem like that
I wish there was a cheaper alternative. £234 is rather a lot.
Our apologies for the price, we are limited by the price we can get them from the designer and manufacturer. Maybe in the future we can design our own and see if we can bring the price down.
plenty of videos here of diy drag knife
So you not gonna show how to zero the knife.
