Hi Robert, Just saw this about sign camp so sorry about the late input. Will be there for the Friday's breakfast. The sign academy graduate sign is OK for me. Been a long time shopboter but not active lately. I have 2003 PRT model with a 4G upgrade. About 5 to 6 years ago I was making small custom s...

Hi Bagzzz. Just curious, how did you do the maple leaves on the table and how were they colored? Thanks Mark

With a little more work to this file (by placing a couple tabs on the tray and placing two location pins in the waste area) you could cut the inside and then the flip the tray over to cut the outside. Mark

Here is the crv file. Just select the preview all toolpath button, it will run the toolpaths in the right order. Mark

It also possible to cut slant sides on the outside of the tray too. There a preview image of that. Basically the same method as doing the 3D stars I wrote about in a different thread. Mark

Layers would be nice addition to the new version. Thanks Mark

Thinking out loud here. Paul’s inlay method also might work for intarsia projects too. By repeat milling off, routing new pockets and gluing on new layers it would be 3D like an intarsia. The wood grain would run the same direction on each layer. I have not done or work out the details on this yet, ...

Here an example of an arc and straight line ramp in/out on a rectangle. The left toolpath show an arc ramp on the outside, the middle toolpath show the ramp is on and not visible and the left toolpath show an arc ramp is on a corner. Normally I do the ramping in on the toolpath and by doing that it ...

FYI, the method I use to make ramp in and outs. This that follows should you a good idea how to do these. Mark By using the node editing tool, select an existing point or insert a new point where you like the ramp to be Cut the vector at that point Now there is two points, nudge one or both points w...

Here is the crv file. Just copy and paste the circle into other crv files. Use the set size tool to change the size or shape of the circle. Mark

Here an example of a spiral ramp in/out on a hole. The left toolpath show the ramp on the outside, the middle toolpath show the ramp is on and is not visible and the left toolpath show the ramp on the inside. Normally I do the ramping in on the toolpath and by doing that it will rout out the tab. On...

This preview image show how I use tabs for ramping in/out toolpaths. The first toolpath show a straight line ramp in. The second toolpath show the ramp in is on toolpath and because of that it not visible. The third toolpath show the ramp in and out. I nudge the start point down to make it visible. ...

Paul, you got me! I have not made any lettering like this yet. Just thinking out loud. I was thinking that by cutting the lettering from the backside with a skin on it, it would be easy to glue it to another piece. Then you could sand or mill the skin off. I was thinking to do this without the pocke...

While there been talk off and on on the forum about getting lead in/out, ramping in/out add to Vcarve Pro in the new version, there is some ways to do this now. While some of this will be extra work to do, it might be worth while for some projects. For lead in/out any close vector can be cut and mad...
