Re: Holding Cross 2 Rail Sweep

Thanks, I refuse to upgrade because when version 11 came out It was 11 months since I upgraded to 10 but I wasn't eligible for 11 because I wasn't within the 6 months as I remember. So I'll wait until version 12 before I upgrade. :( I changed my toolpaths to use THIS 3/8" Roundover bit instead and c...

Re: Holding Cross 2 Rail Sweep

Thank You Litzluth. Can you save it to version 10.5 please? I tried both the extrude and the two rail sweep methods (note the various layers).

Holding Cross 2 Rail Sweep

I'm having an issue getting a smooth roundover on my small holding cross and am hoping someone can take a look at it. I've thrown a lot of spaghetti at the wall for a few hours now and have tried everything I know but can't quite get it. My intention is to make this in two mirrored halves so I'll ad...

Just play with it, you’ll get the hang of it. I also use a down cut bit for my first pa...

Re: 3D Model Pool Table Pockets

I believe I have it figured out. I have to create each side as it's own model and reset "Model Position in Material" with each one. :D

3D Model Pool Table Pockets

I'm trying to build a new wood sub base for a 100 year old pool table for a friend. It's a three piece base: two sides and the middle. Each piece has two pool table pockets. The slate rests on top of the base. Here's the base: IMG_20200725_134011332.jpg I'm not able to program the two rail sweep to ...

Re: Picture Frame Collage / Family Theme

Your welcome! Glad you like it. This is a very simple project. No dimensioning lumber, no masking & unmasking, no glue ups and no sanding! Only painting and cutting. Maximum return for minimal effort! :D
