Re: Flag Union (Stars)

If you want to do an American flag inlay would you still do a vcarve on the line with the stars?

Re: Removing tool markings on sign

OH No lol, the Dremel bits were after the fact when trying to remove the tooling marks. Not in my router lol. Would it be possible to re-run just the portion of the program with a smaller endmill and clean it up if I measure the sign as it is and plug in those dimensions without messing it up?

Re: Removing tool markings on sign

I used a 1/16th ball nose with a vcarve tool path because it got the detail I was looking for on the program. I don't have small diametor endmills yet that can make the tree pattern or cut the deer out properly. And yes I tried sanding bits, diamond bits, some I don't know what they are but looked r...

Removing tool markings on sign

Hello! Yesterday I finished cutting out a sign (My first one like this) and found that the ball nose I used left a lot of trails left behind. I tried several Dremel bits but none worked very well at just getting rid of them without making their own divits. Could someone please offer some advice on h...

Re: Need help asap please

Thanks but that is still confusing, how is it going to go back and forth to eat away the wood with a single rectangle? Don't you need multiple lines to tell it to go up then back and so on?

Re: VCarve Pro & Desktop v9.5 are here!

I installed 9.5 and now all the tutorials I was able to access offline in 9.0 are unavailable in both 9.0 and 9.5 files without an internet connection. How do I fix this?

Need help asap please

So I'm doing an inlay on a cheese board and I usually cut off the male section with my bandsaw but this time it's just slightly to big and don't fit. The tutorial I learned from mentions that one of the guys uses his cnc and a .5 inch em to eat it away. I have tried several ways to configure the vec...

.STL File import and sizing question

Hello! I just bought some .STL files of 3D objects and was able to import and open them in my Vcarve Desktop but can anyone point me to some good training on how to size them for what I need? One is a very cool clock but can't figure out how to adjust the settings so it is a good height and width et...

Vcarve issue with picture in a circle Help!!! LOL

So I am working on a project and I imported a picture, vectorized it and since I just wanted it to look like a picture I Vcarved it and set it at .11 which worked fine and I liked it but I didn't like the shape so I drew a circle around it and cut off what was outside the circle. When I recalculated...

Re: setting space for vector lines

I'm talking like using your mouse or a pen tablet to actually draw a line in the program
