I am trying to create toolpaths to carve a convex face on a Shaker drawer front. The outside edges to be 1" and the center 3/4" when carved. The rabbet in the back is cut such that once a panel is installed in the frame, there is an even 1/4" reveal face to panel viewing from the front Any ideas on ...

I have carved an acanthus leaf in hard maple. The finished carving shows obvious heavy lines where the toolpath pattern changed orientation. The center vane was way distorted and I had some burning even though the router was set at the lowest speed. Also, I set the profile cutout allowance offset to...

Thank u everyone.
Especially Tony.

This is the file I need help on.

I am looking for someone who can take an image created in Adobe Illusrator and
create a file that I can open in Aspire 4.5 or 8. I want to be able to change the font, size, etc and run it on my cnc machine.

I have an image created in Adobe Illustrator but I cannot open it in Aspire.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I get a "failed" message saying image is probably bitmap.

Thank u Adrian. That worked.

Trying to import my Aspire V4.5 tool database into V8.
When I click on import and try to navigate to the Aspire 4.5 database, it is not there.
Tried turning on view hidden files, still can't find it.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I an trying to import my Aspire 4.5 database into V 8
but when I go to the toolpath tab the "tool database" tab is greyed out.
What to do?

I want to carve clan crests and coats of arms.
Does anyone know where I can get these in ready to go models similar to what vectorart3d.com offers?

Thanks everyone for all your help.
It looks like the drawings in Aspire are correct and I now see how the z indicator works in the preview.
I will now turn my attention to the machine Z. The problem must be there.
I will post my findings.

Thank u Joz but that did not fix my problem.
Did as u suggested and it still carves as b4 with no change.
There is no way I can post this file. It is 5MB & this site will only allow 2MB.

I am Using Aspire 4.5 and I can't figure out why my v grooves and text are carving so deep.

I set the vectors for the v groove to 1/8" apart but it carves about 1/4 deep.
Text is also carving too deep and the lettering turns out unreadable.
The tool parameters appear 2 b o.k. ???

Thank U Gc3 and Turtle49.
I forgot to add a second vector to get the V carve to cut correctly.
I'm a 72 yr old newbie and just can't remember all these rules.
U guys saved my day.
Thanks again
