Thanks for helping clarify TReischi, I never considered that the Final Pass Stepover might occur in the Z direction which would make sense here if that is what it is doing(?). Yes, when all else fails I guess looking at the instructions is a good idea. Out of habit I always go scouring the internet ...

Hello, I am trying to understand the appropriate Cutting Parameters (found in VCarve's Tool Database) that would be set for V carving some lettering. Can anyone recommend a video which might explain this? I see in many V carving videos, parameters set similar to the screenshot attached. In this scre...

Thanks for posting a response.... To answer your questions, 1. It's not visible in the picture, but I have diagonal lines forming an "X" on both ends of the stock from when the stock was square. I made a point to mount the stock,plates,etc so the orientation was all up and down and side to side if y...

This is tricky to describe and maybe this is more of a machine related question but I will try..... I am using VCarve Pro 9.5 to generate g-code to rough mill and then finish mill some wood handrail fittings. I create 2 separate files - 1 for rough machining and the other for the finishing pass. I a...

Okay thanks....that makes sense. I'll try to work the issue backwards to rectify this in SketchUp.

Thank you! - in AutoCAD, setting FACETRES to 10 did the trick precisely.

I have been looking online for the way to remedy this same issue when exporting an stl from SketchUp. Would anyone have a suggestion with this?

Thanks everyone for your helpful questions..... Some answers are: Yes, I do see lines after importing the model into VCarve software. So I guess possibly the triangulation resolution I'm exporting from AutoCAD isn't fine enough. I tried setting up the finest modeling resolution in VCarve, but that d...

Hello, I've run into this scenario several times and am wondering about it... After setting up a job, I import a model from AutoCAD in stl. format. After setting the tool paths, the machined part appears like the attached image. I'm confused why these lines appear, as the AutoCAD model I created did...

Okay - Brilliant! Thanks for that. I saw that option but was confused on how to do that. I was thrown off by the fact that when I select my whole model in 2D that it turns a different color (very dark) than I usually see when selecting just one line (magenta). After creating an appropriately sized r...

Hello, I'm using VCarve Pro V9.5 and am somewhat new to creating rotary machining tool paths.... I am trying to machine some handrail fittings and have some 1" dowels attached at the ends of the model (see attached screenshot) to allow for proper machining. The issue I have is that in VCarve Pro, in...
