Why Cut Studio

Stop fighting your CAM software. Start making chips.

Most hobby CNC workflows mean forum-diving for feeds and speeds, fighting a desktop CAM tool, and praying your G-code is right. Cut Studio will collapse that into one fluid browser tool — designed by router users, for router users.

Automatic feeds & speeds

Pick a tool from your library and a material — Cut Studio computes feedrate, spindle speed, and stepdown using real formulas: F = chipload × flutes × RPM. No forum diving, no guesswork.

Profile, pocket & V-carve

Full toolpath suite: profile cuts with lead-in/out, pocketing with adaptive clearing, V-carving from angle math (depth = width/2 ÷ tan(θ/2)), and drilling.

Ramp & helix entry

Protect your end mills with controlled entries. Cut Studio adds ramped plunges and helical entries automatically so you never slam a bit into stock at full depth.

Tool & material library

Save every end mill, V-bit, and ball-nose once. Pick a material and Cut Studio dials in the right chipload, flute count, and stepover automatically — no spreadsheet hunting.

Tabs, leads & finishing passes

Add holding tabs so parts don't shift during cutout. Add finishing passes for clean edges. Set lead-in and lead-out arcs to protect tool entry.

GRBL, Marlin & LinuxCNC output

Hard-enforced safeZ, no G00 below clearance, validated post-processor output. The G-code Cut Studio exports is ready to run — not a starting point for more editing.

How it works

Sketch. Toolpath. Cut.

From blank canvas to a G-code file your machine can run — in three steps. No post-processor, no desktop software.

01

Design or import

Draw vectors on the infinite canvas, drop an SVG or DXF, or start from a template. Organise work in layers by operation type.

02

Generate toolpaths

Pick a strategy — profile, pocket, V-carve, drill — assign a tool and material. Cut Studio computes feeds, speeds, and entry moves automatically.

03

Export & run

Review your toolpath, then export GRBL, Marlin, or LinuxCNC G-code. Send it to your machine. Make chips.

I stopped fighting my CAM software and started making parts again. Cut Studio feels like someone who actually runs a router wrote it — and it hasn't even launched yet.

Smart toolpaths

Feeds & speeds that match your actual setup.

Pick a tool from your library and a material — and Cut Studio will compute the right feedrate, spindle speed, and stepdown using real formulas: F = chipload × flutes × RPM — not magic numbers from a forum post from 2011.

  • V-bit depth from angle: depth = width/2 / tan(θ/2)
  • Ramp & helix entries to protect end mills
  • Hard-enforced safeZ — never G00 below clearance

Full toolpath suite

Profile. Pocket. V-carve. Drill. One canvas.

Most hobby CAM tools make you pick one operation type and start over. Cut Studio lets you stack profiles, pockets, V-carves, and drill ops on different layers of the same design — and generates them all in a single ordered G-code file.

Profiling
Lead-in/out, tabs, multi-pass
Pocketing
Adaptive clearing, stepover
V-carving
Angle math, depth from geometry
Drilling
Peck cycles, spotting

From the wishlist

Router makers are already waiting.

These are beta testers and early sign-ups who've had a preview of what's coming.

"I've been waiting for a browser-based CNC CAM tool that actually gets feeds and speeds right. The beta is everything I hoped for."
JR
Jamie R.
Shapeoko Pro owner
"The V-carve depth math alone is worth signing up. No more guessing θ/2 in my head — it just works."
DP
Dev P.
Hobby shop, Portland
"I moved everything else to WebCAM already (Burn, Write, PCB). Cut Studio launching means I never have to open desktop CAM again."
SK
Sonia K.
Studio maker
"Ramp entries are the thing I always forget to set in other tools. Having them on by default is going to save a lot of end mills."

"Signed up the day I saw the feed calculator demo. Can't wait to try adaptive clearing on my Onefinity."

"The safeZ enforcement is huge. I've broken bits because my CAM let me rapid below clearance. This fixes that."

Any machine running GRBL, Marlin, or LinuxCNC-compatible G-code — Shapeoko, X-Carve, Genmitsu, Onefinity, OpenBuilds, Longmill, and most hobby CNC routers. If it accepts standard G-code, Cut Studio will speak its language.
Cut Studio uses the industry-standard formula: F = chipload × flutes × RPM. You tell it your tool (end mill diameter, flute count) and material (MDF, plywood, aluminium), and it computes a safe starting feedrate and spindle speed. V-bit depth uses: depth = width/2 / tan(angle/2).
Yes — V-carving is a first-class toolpath strategy. Set your V-bit angle and the target geometry, and Cut Studio calculates the correct depth at every point so your carve width matches the design exactly.
Cut Studio enforces safeZ (rapid height above all stock), clearZ (minimum height for moves between cuts), and never emits a G00 rapid below the clearance height. All output is validated before export.
Absolutely — and you should. Create a free WebCAM account now and you'll get early access and a launch-day notification. Your projects and tool library will be ready to go from day one.
