Anyone on the forum use bCNC as their sender/control? I have been using CNCJS with great results. However I am wanting to use an auto level feature for carving on weathered wood that is not flat. I first installed OpenCNCpilot and had trouble with probe feature. It would send the the Z in the wrong ...

I looked for the Youtube video but could not find it.
Can you post a link?
I am interested in your process.
Thanks

Does the 10.5 version of Desk top have the threading feature?

I did break a lid. So I made one with 1/2 plywood.
The next weak spot will be the bottom of the bucket I suspect.
When that happens I may just make a plywood container/box.

Another option I would consider would be to just shim up the right side the correct amount and do a simple surfacing path.

Keep in mind that when V carving text the depth of carve is determined by the width of the text.
The narrower the text the shallower the carve.
I suspect your text is not large enough to create a carve .125 deep as you desire.

Nice, is that Purple Heart inlay for the thread?

I did not see any directions for how to vote for my choice?
Please explain the method.

Ok I understand that there may be bits of material between the outer detail pass and the clearance pass. But why cannot it just stepover inwards and remove the material.
How can I submit this to the support team?

Why does V Carve create a tool path like shown below? There are multiple raise and plunge moves that do not remove any additional material after the pass around the perimeter. This happens at each depth pass and greatly increases the cut time. I see no option to optimize tool path. CRV file attached...

Use the offset tool and your perimeter line to make a line inside the perimeter. The offset value should be the width of your profile. Then use the offset line rather than the perimeter line as the guide line to extrude the profile around. First image is the result of trying the inside offset as th...

I want to do a profile cut the shape of Indiana and then follow up with a moulding toolpath for 0.25 radius on the edge.
The problem I have is that it wants to place the moulding toolpath outside of my vector but I need it on the inside the vector.
What am I doing wrong?

I use an X Carve machine and interested in direct output to machine.
Is that possible with the current version 9.5?
If so how do I set up for this?
Thanks
