Yes, that is it! Amazing what you forget when you don't use it for so long.
Thank you so much

Copy and resize to exact shape
Good Evening, I am trying to learn how to take a vector, copy it and resize it to fit inside a vector but with exact shape. I have searched but probably used wrong terminology. I have attached a CRV file from clip art to see if I can get the design I am looking for. I want the shape, although the I ...

Re: V Groove change to linear rails
Leo I understand what you are saying about fixing this machine. This would be a great plasma machine but, I have one now. AlanAndrews I like your ideas to fix it but I think it is time to consider a better built system. Will definitely consider your ideas though. Thanks for you valuable input. :D Gary

Re: V Groove change to linear rails
Leo,
Thanks for your insight.
I agree with what you are saying. I think the best thing is find something better and get a real machine.
Thanks

V Groove change to linear rails
I have a DIY router table that I have built. The gantry came from a not so reputable company here in Canada. I have V groove bearings on the Y axis and have too much movement in the Z axis. The attached photo shows the similar gantry. The suppoet plate that holds my router with the V wheels has flex...

Re: Change spoilboard?
I glue my spoil board down and then just glue a new one down when it's been resurfaced enough times to be down to the original surface again. Can you explain what glue you use for gluing sheets of mdf together? I want to try doing this and then I will put T tracks on and then put my new board on in...

Re: Tray and dish carve
"With all the above being said there are chip load charts, calculators, etc... that can be found that gives an operator a place to START his/her speed (rpms) and feed rates. These of course would need to be tailored/tweaked in each and every 'variable' circumstance." This is part of the problem. I c...

Re: Tray and dish carve
I decided i would like to try a tray project and bought a dish carving bit. 1" diameter, 1/4" radius and 5/8" high. I have searched and have come up empty. Can someone suggest a starting feed and speed. I cannot even find some information on chip loading to figure out somewhere to start. Been to a ...

Re: Tray and dish carve
OK, so I am thinking of using these for a start. 12000rpm, 30ipm and doc .125. As I have no chip load I am finding it very confusing to figure this out. I will start here and then adjust as needed. Being fairly new to this, I want to be on the safe side so I don't get hurt or damage my machine. Than...

New at trying to do this project, having a blast learning V carving, now I am wanting to try cutting some thin material for a project for my grandson. See picture below.
