Yes

Thanks

If I set a POCKET toolpath with an allowance of - .003, does that mean -.003 on all sides? Effectively making the pocket .006 larger?

Very nice!

May not want to hear this, but Connecticut is spelled wrong (sorry)

You are right. The funny thing is my wife and I discussed that spelling. When I revised the size of the fonts, I guess I didn't connect well.

Scott, You don't know this, but I used your feeds and speed setting on the text, that I saw in the forum. Thanks.

Fun! Did you paint and VCarve through the paint?

Yes, I put two coats of paint. The tough part was painting the property colors. My daughter in law wants a board now, I'm going to try adhesive backed color vinyl

Completed this Monopoly board this past Christmas for the grandkids. After reading lots of forum questions for tips, especially font tooling feeds and speeds. Cut on a Shopbot Desktop using the tiling tool path.

I didn’t get a response to my question and just forged ahead after sleeping on it. You can change the number of tiles,you just have to remember to adjust your zero axis to the size of the tiles you have chosen, even if you don’t move the material.

I am creating a Monopoly board for my grandkids. I original set up a tiling tool path for two (2) tiles 11,1/4" each. Because my board isn't "dead flat" the middle section of tile 1 isn't cutting deep enough. (My Shopbot Desktop is 24x18) I had setup a location holes 11,1/4" apart. I wasn't able to ...

I am planning to make a monopoly board for my granddaughter. Using a 15degree v bit for the fonts, what wood is recommended? I've considered maple plywood because it is already flat. (so not too much machining) Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

To Michael Tyler Michael, IMG_4257.jpeg IMG_4258.jpeg I have been telling my wife for months that I was going to make the "Bookpile Box". Well I got around to making it. It was a challenge in some respects, but what I took away from the project is that you are a "genius" to come up with the ideas fo...

Thanks again, I do have 24x18, but 2 pieces are 34" long. I think I have my tool paths figured for the least amount of tool changes. All info is good info, thanks. Mike

Thanks Martin, I made separate tool paths as you suggested. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Mike

I think I figured it out. I chose the exact location of the first set of holes, made a new project of same size, then made 3 (three) 12" tiles. Second set of holes at 12" from first set and third set at 6" from the second set. I will then be able to cut all 4 holes in tile 2. Hope that makes sense. ...

I am making a project that is 36" in length. My cutting surface is 24x X 18y. I am using the tiling tool path in the Y direction, using 2 18" tiles. My first set of indexing holes (for dowels) are 2" up in "Y". How do I cut the second set of index holes at 20" in "Y" since that tool path goes to til...
