james, how can we attach mouldings # 36267 end to end to create longer pieces without distortion or seperation lines

would it be beneficial for these mouldings to be available in 96" lengths for commercial use?

thanks jim

Jim,
that is a while since we added those files and to the best of my knowledge it should be possible to create a toolpath for a 12" length in Machinist or Cut3D then import the V3M/V3D into VCarve Pro and make copies of it to make longer lengths. Although I have to say that I am not 100% sure on this as I can see issues with the tool dropping over the edges if I did not set up the boundary correctly. I will need to check it to be sure.

You are probably right we need to add a 96" and possibly 48" version to the site. I will have to have a think about it and see what would work best. I will try the toolpath - multiples in VCP later today and report back.

Thanks,
James

james we can carve in the c model and trim the excess off from the edges, actually i premoved the excess in the grape file for less stress on the bit when i carved it, the length of 48 or 96 will open this up to furniture builders and kitchen cabinetmakers!!

thanks for your help!!
