Re: Isolating model in dish

I'm using Vectric Pro 8.5 and I'm trying to put a stl file (3d Model of Motocycle) I got off eBay into a dish and can do the model or the dish not able to put motorcycle in dish. Can this be done with Vectric Pro 8.5 or is Aspire required?
Any tips would be helpful.

Looking to purchase some 3D models of 1955 Chevy, 1970 Ford Fastback Mustang and Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Re: Depth of cut

Thanks for your help in ad...

Here's a couple of acrylics that I did a while back with 3D models. The first two pictures were 1/4" acrylic and the last one was 1/2" acrylic. I used mostly ball nose 1/8" bits for the 3D parts and ran it as slow as my router would go (10000 RPMs). For the 1/2" acrylic I did a roughing pass with a...

Re: July Monthly Project: Inlay Vase

How long did the CNC time take? I tried it and changed a few of the bits sizes and took me about 5 hours of carving time. Just wondering if I made it longer by doing that.
