Drill Bit

You can now assign a dedicated bit just for drill holes in your design.

Previously, Easel always used your roughing or detail bit for drill holes. That often led to separate workpieces for drills.

Now, with Drill Bits, you can:

  • Choose a separate drill-specific bit just for drill holes.
  • Skip duplicating workpieces or manually hiding drills
  • Keep everything in one carve with four distinct toolpaths: Roughing, Detail, Drill and Outline

How to use it:

  • Click the “+” next to your selected bit and select a Drill Bit
  • Simulate your carve — the drillpass will appear as a separate purple toolpath
  • During carving or downloading G-code, you'll now see a new “Drill Pass” option when selecting toolpaths

Easel Pro subscribers can now add drill bits to the toolbox as well. Simply:

  • Choose the "Drill" option when setting up your bit.
  • Drill bits you set up will appear in a Drill section when selecting the bit for your drill pass.
