Re: Carving end grain

I do mostly end grain when I make a cutting board. Check out my process here: https://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=36611 I went through a lot of trial and error and found that face grain and edge grain had lots of breakage. Also found less breakage when do v-carves before the clearance pas...

Re: A Pink Floyd-inspired end-grain cutting board

Nice execution. I like the border around the text and how it breaks up the brick lines. Well done!

Urn for a Friend

I have a young friend and former employee, only in his mid-forties, who has been battling cancer for the last year and a half and is currently not doing so well. He is trying to put some of his affairs in order and one of those was to select a cremation urn. He came to me as he has always admired my...

Re: Sheet Size in Job Sheet

Ahhh...that may explain it Greg K. I had already upgraded to v11.007 BUT I customised the Job Setup Sheet previously with my company name and logo and it still shows as v3.1. I guess it did not update along with Aspire due to the customisation. How can I fix this? EDIT: Figured it out. Job Sheet Set...

Re: Sheet Size in Job Sheet

No. I mean the measurements of my workpiece are not showing correctly for sheet 3. Sheet 1 and 2 are 20”x X 10”y while Sheet 3 is smaller, 10”x X 8”y. But all 3 HTML files show the job size as 20”x X 10”y.

Sheet Size in Job Sheet

When saving the Job Sheet for a 3 sheet job, I noticed two things. 1) The Job Sheet function outputs all 3 sheets at the same time. It would be more appropriate to just output the sheet I'm working on, like it does when I save the toolpaths. 2) In my project, Sheet 1 and 2 are the same size but Shee...

Re: 3D Segmenting

Beauty! Thanks Aya. I've been using the Nesting but do not always agree with the results or in some cases, I want to move the segment to another position on another sheet. But the Other Side move you mention is the answer!!! I've tried it and it works just perfectly. Thanks so much for the tip. I ha...

Re: 3D Segmenting

This newest feature, dynamic rotation, is awesome.

Question please...

After segmenting on a 2-sided job, how can I move a segment around or cut/paste it onto a new sheet while ensuring both sides end up in their proper places? Basically, how to rearrange a 2-sided segment as a unit?

Thanks.

Re: 3D Segmenting

Just started to play around with this new feature. Either I'm doing something wrong or it's intermittent. On the first try, in Layout Mode, I pressed "O" and the dynamic rotation handle appeared and I was able to rotate that segment perfectly. However, on the next selected segment, after pressing "...

Has there been any success in adding this capability and if so, when do you think it could be released? Thanks... signed...anxiously waiting...

Re: Proudly Canadian

Thanks again for the nice words. I do not remember how long it took as it was nearly 1 1/2 years ago but I did it in 4 sections and glued all to a thin plywood backing. Two jobs for the 2 end pieces in cherry. A third job for the maple center with the inlay cutout. And the fourth and final job for t...
