Tutorial //top\\: Woodwop 5.0

woodWOP 5.0 is a conversational CNC programming software from HOMAG used for woodworking

Always do inner features first (pockets, holes) then outer contour to keep the part clamped.
Ensure tool changes are correctly ordered: Tool 1 operations first, then Tool 2.
Add a program stop before contour if manual unloading/check required.

If you're new to WoodWOP 5.0 or CNC machining in general, here's a basic guide to get you started: woodwop 5.0 tutorial

Note: In WoodWOP 5.0, you must pay close attention to "Climb" vs. "Counter" cutting directions depending on your tooling and material veneer to prevent splintering. Always do inner features first (pockets, holes) then

Routing (Pocket):

Draw a rectangle or circle and apply a routing macro to clear the interior.
