Re: Selecting v-bit for a Finish Machining Toolpath

I use an 30 degree engraving bit with a .005" flat all the time as a last 3D Finish pass if the details I want warrant it. Remember, an engraving bit is using the side angle. Stepover is a percentage of the flat, NOT the diameter. TRUST the preview to see if the difference in time is worth it. (sequ...

Steve,
Maybe print out the words to the song too?

Then whether your son/daughter speaks to you in a week or so...
They can Thank You for having the song stuck in their heads for a week. :)

Re: Not Puff the magic.

VERY nicely done Grant!! :) I was looking for a "Thai" dragon for my CNP who was born Thai but has been in Maine 20+yrs. Looking for THAT, but with 7 heads :) (Thought about giving her Michael Mezalick's "Small Celtic Dragon ", but just too culturally different in appearance) 9.13.17 DRAGON UNTOUCHE...

Re: Profile open vectors

Encrypted file, or just compressed Dan? Maybe shoot it to my e-mail and I could try to look at it? Never made Shaker Boxes, but offsetting by the radius, or manually shifting nodes further apart at the ends would work, and cut ON the line?. Yep, Ma just mashes a button....Just like US! :) :) scott

I'd check for a double line maybe like Steven said.

Re: Scratches & Edge Issues

Along the same static thought as Ed, Did vac hose touch machine at that side of the cut(if your hose isn't grounded on the Inside of hose) ? Do scratches coincide with leaning or touching machine or material during cutting? Did any Large electrical draw machines kick on during scratches(compressors/...
