Is there a way to export a design where different layer colors are exported too not just black?
Thanks!

Thank you very much!

Stay healthy!

I have been using VcarvePro for a couple or so years and love it. My machine is a Shapeoko 3. I just ordered the bit setter and wondered how can I utilize it properly. I haven't put much time into it yet and hopefully won't have to :) So when I go to save my tool paths with different end mill sizes ...

That was a great response Xxray! Thank you

Soooo.... It seems I am cutting 1/2" cast acrylic . The edges are ever so slightly chipped. I used a 2 flute bit and slowed the rpms down to 7k, feed rate of 70ipm and quite a clean finish but not perfect. I actually got better results from the 4 flute bit, but still not perfect. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Thanks all so much! I'll be slowing the rpm, speeding up the feed and reducing the flutes. I'll do a few test runs today and post some results.
Thanks every one, what a great forum this is!

Mark, what feed rate do you use?

Thanks Mark!

I meant to say I was using a .375" bit, so like 9.5mm. Sorry.

First off, thanks very much for taking the time to respond!!! The bit I have been using (and reading I shouldn't) is a 4 flute up cut 3.75 d. I'm in Los Angeles, it's been "cold" here lately, but not cold cold. So I ordered a O flute (what ever that is?) and that should be tomorrow. I think I ran at...

I am using a Laguna Swift table and spindle. I am cutting black acrylic (cast I think?), it seems hard and loud when cut. I last c...

Thank you kindly

I need to level a sacrificial wasteboard, I am going to buy (unless advised differently) a 1 1/2" surfacing bit. My question is about the programming, is there a function or what is the best way to program the machine to do this?
I have a Shapeoko3 XL and Vcarve Pro.
Thanks for any advice!

Dumb question I am sure....Is there a function in VcarvePro or a simple way to have it level the waste board? I have a Shapeoko3 XL
