Right/left router bit when using mirror function X mirror

[Ruben]

Hello

We are making cabinets with cutouts in the side panels after edge banding using 2 different right and left router bits.
When using the mirror function in X we have to change the number of the used routers manually, how can we do this more efficient?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

There are at least two ways to do that automatically.
1. Two separate machining operations controlled by mirroring condition
2. One machining where the tool number is controlled by mirroring condition

However, it should be remembered that in these examples Y mirroring is not taken into account or if X and Y mirroring are on at the same time. In these cases, the condition should be slightly modified to make all variations work.

Since woodWOP 7.2 you can change the tool automatically by defining a "mirror toll" or by changing the processing direction clockwise/counterclockwise automatically.
