Vectric Customer

Thanks
Overall roughing was first done with a 6mm ballnose 6mm per pass with 2mm tolerance,
and the the 3d finishing is done wit 20deg vbit with a 0,1mm stepover at 24000rpm 6kw spindle at 5000mm/min

Thanks Don
420mm wide x 594mm high (A2)
Highest point is 15mm
6,5 hours total carving time and another 10 hours of hand finishing

Thanks for that.
It's one piece cut with a 20deg vbit

I was commissioned to do this for a client.
Rhodesian Teak with Gold leaf and Antiquing gilding paste.
The model build was a lovely challenge. Still lots of room for improvement though!!
Hope it gives someone "Aspire"-ations!
Cheers Kevin

Great idea Mike. You could make three different attachments and attract even more customers. Nothing like having a little jerky and cheese with my cigar. :lol: What about a nut cracker? How're you going to get some guy to stand over the rig long enough to do the cracking!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgree...

is this more or less what you want to achieve?

I use normal off the shelf solvent based sanding sealer for MDF . 1st coat thinned 10% .Sand and do 2 coats unthinned. 2K Urethane over the top

HI all A healthy, wealthy and happy new year to all. A sad loss of Mr Chris Lovell who passed away peacfully 05-01-2015. (for the old UK master craftsmen and 3D modelmakers who would have been blessed to know him...) This sign is a result of the kind if collaboration which happens via this forum. A ...

Hi Rodger
Great Sign Master! Looks the business..... I finally did the Lantern Bar sign which you emailed me about, regarding the MAZAM font. You'll notice I node edited the font to be able to do a bolder raised prism. Don't think it came out to bad??
Cheers Kevin

I received a file to test from support which I couldn't open with Aspire 4.5. It was a Beta version 4.519, so they are obviously doing continual upgrades.

When one gets to flat sided/spade mill bits, the minute degrees of side angle are mentioned, it's a v-bit...........the engraving bits that I have are all v-bits, whether it has one flat side or two. Please correct me if i'm mistaken. A traditional hand engraver uses tools that have v angles to atta...

Brilliantly done Nick! I bet there are a lot of guys ( incl yours truly) on this forum, who have been doing cnc for years, thinking to themselves, "why didn't I think of that???".
Just goes to show how truly versatile Aspire is!! Once again, well done Vectric!........

I often finish my carvings by hand as this adds an extra touch and dimension to my work. Don't be afraid to experiment.....you might be surprised at the outcome!!! good luck....

Unless you have a 5 -7 axis cnc you will not achieve this . Why dont you machine it, then hand carve or shape the under side??

@ Mike... Good work on the edit!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Charlie Your original file is, I believe, a good starting point. I have run one test and demolished the first diamond bit in about 3 secs as the toolpath cuts the black in the contrast. The bit literally has to be in the air over the black parts and lower the Z as the greyscale changes. @zdgj02 I...
