Re: Newbie to PVC
The car has to be my best so far. Still debating whether the wood dye I use is too dark for cherry wood, but i also think that it makes the photo stand out more.

Re: Newbie to PVC
Wow - your car looks great.
I am so new at this. Can you tell me the settings you used along with the bit you used?
I appreciate any help you can provide (including finishing techniques)
Thank you again.

Re: Newbie to PVC
Tom your best bet would be to ask any questions that you have in the general section rather than add to a post in the gallery, will get more views that way & answers that are specific to your question, if you read the last few posts in this section & the general section there has been quite a bit of talk lately about settings & a couple of people have listed theirs.tomjensenwisconsin wrote:Wow - your car looks great.

ball nose dits seem to be quite popular, 1/16" or smaller & people are also using engraving bits to good effect.
Learn to trust the preview image, they seem to be very accurate for all the vectric products. I use vcp & if a job looks good in the preview I know it is good to cut.
