Vectric Customer

I have a file in gcode, anyone know tho to backplot to a stl or svg file?

Here is a new question.
How tall are the letters supposed to be on a branding iron?

Well the cut came out really nice, except I forgot to make it in reverse.
Good thing the metal has 2 sides..

Well right now I'm running at about 14 ipm and 6000 with a .020 cutter i'll post a pic in about an hour if it works out.

I was wondering what type of feeds and speeds you use .
I'm trying to engrave a branding iron for my wood projects.
I'm using a .020 end mill and so far i think its working.
Have you ever done that?

I have never cut metal in the 10+ years that I have had my machine.
I would like to engrave brass or aluminum with my machine.
Anyone know of a beginners guide to do this?

I created this Litho. from a post card scanned at 300 Dpi The size is 18 by 24 inches if I recall. I used a .125 tool in 14 " Corian.

I have a new customer who just supplied me with a file that is an eps made in adobe illustrator but I can not open it in vc pro 6. I'm almost positive it a bmp file . What can be done to get it to a vector file on his end. Will illustrator output in vector format?

That's a solid carbide tool right? I used a HSS tool and it snapped.

Hi Guys,
Its been a while since I posted anything. I'm being Lazy so here is my question.
What size and type of end mill would you use to cut 1 inch thick( with 1/4 " steps) Red Oak, and what feed speed.?
Nappy

I made this Lithophane the other day for a Baptism/Birthday gift.
The light I used was a new 110 voltround fluorescent I bought a Loews. I made a angle bracket from sintra to hold the light on the back about six inches from the litho.

I'm thinking about replacing the Laminate on my counter top. any suggestions for tool or procedure?

What I found out is that there is a round over tool in the database but Prism cut will not accept the tool, so I'm trying to figure out how to do it via profile
cut.
I will check the area you suggested anyway.
thanks

I know I'm going to sound like a newbie but here is my question. :oops: I just started playing with my 5.5 version. Mainly the prism letters. It works good . Then I came up with the idea of using a round over bit instead of a v bit. My problem is I don't know how to make a tool like that in the data...
