Yup! The Bit Diameter could be a possible problem on the outer perimeter if clamps are used for hold down of spoilboard! Might be better to create an new program within V-Carve that way you will know and understand all that is performed. A big plus to that is you get to use V-carve and familiarize y...

+1 Agreed

Vectric Support is the answer for that!

Welcome! The thing I noticed is that that particular model machine comes with two different size collets 1/4" and the 1/2". If you use the 45526 Router bit you will need to change the collet on the spindle to 1/4" collet because the bit has a 1/4" shank. Other than that some adjustments may be warra...

Hail the Tailmaker!!! I have been looking for a joint to use for the Cat Exercise Wheel Frame so that the wheel itself can be assembled/disassembled at will anytime. I have created a joint using Tailmaker's PuzzleMyJoint Software! After Carving and a little sanding the joint went right together with...

Thank you adze_cnc for the awesome explanation! And yup I didn't thoroughly understand the last pass function as Vectric has programmed/intended. And Gentlemen your responses have contributed also in getting an understanding of how and why the Last Pass Function may or may not be necessary. Great Fo...

Well my understanding was a bit off but ----

Ok what would you have if you use an offset of .003 and a last pass allowance of .003"?

Just want to better understand what is happening/occurring.

But it differs as it's lass pass is a whole new pass at full depth. Unlike VCarve's that makes the last cut through the material as the last pass. In my case, cutting the last 1/4" of the 1/2" material as the last pass and on the line vs offset by 0.003". V-Carve makes the last pass not only cuttin...

Happy to hear you have gotten the problem resolved.

Here is your File with the moulding toolpaths added for the handle. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ovd3rpuq759xp56/Spoon.crv?dl=0 Spoon.png I Changed/added a few things and you can manipulate the moulding toolpath according to your liking. Be sure to adjust/edit the tools Feed/Speed settings used for you...

Put an allowance of .003 in the Allowance(A) box and it will work as you want it to. Below Taken from User Guide Do Separate Last Pass A separate allowance can be specified for the last pass. If this allowance is given then all but the last pass will be undercut by the specified allowance with the f...

In addition to having computers networked I regularly backup all my V-Carve files including Post Processors, Tool Database, Material textures, and any clipart I may have added to the clipart files.
