Several of the DoorMaster LT profiles involve pocketing areas of the door.  Originally the pockets start directly on the toolpath of the closest profile tool.  However, depending on the tool being used, the pocket sometimes requires a small offset.  User access to the offset setting for the pocket tooling has been made available for these cases.

There are 3 distinct types of 'pocketing':

• Central - Where the entire centre of the door profile in pocketed out.  Such as on a 'Shaker Door'.

• Trench - Where there is a central raised area of the door surrounded by a profiled trench.

• External (Frame) - Where the pocket is in the frame area and used to create a 'raised' profile.

In the case of a Trench or External pocket, the pocketed area has an inner and outer tool path.  Both of which potentially need a separate offset setting.

Examples of offsets in the DoorMaster LT settings.

Central Pocket Offset

 

Central and External Pocket Offsets 

Note how there are two settings for the External (Frame) pocket:

Offset Pocket from Outer Profile

If the outer profile uses a V tool then an offset is automatically calculated and a small extra offset can be applied...

 

If the outer profile does not use a V tool then an offset can be specified...

Inner Pocket Offset from Bounding Profiles 

On door profiles, such as the Series 5 Style 5 shown, you can offset the toolpath on both sides of the inner pocket.
