Suddenly my molding toolpath in Vcarve Pro 10.5 is outputting a toolpath that only goes from 360° to 31° and then back the other way. Everything has been fine up til now. Any idea what changed. Or what I need to change to get it to do the entire 360°?
Thanks

Gremlins in my molding toolpath
Suddenly I have a problem that needs the wisdom of the forum. In my latest molding .crvfile on my rotary axis, I'm unable to generate a toolpath because I keep getting the "cut depth exceeds" message. What's weird is that I just changed the file by going from 3 identical objects to four and did a sa...

Re: Rotary job going wonky
thanks for looking at it, I really appreciate it. As for the speed, the darn zeros. I wanted 200 ipm, not 2000. I guess I'll straighten out those numbers and try again.

Vcarve Pro 10 and a rotary axis
I'm getting my 4th axis set up and trying to create a simple profile in vcarve pro 10 to generate toolpaths from. But there doesn't seem to be a tutorial covering this for v.10. All the others versions have menu items that aren't in 10. Has anyone here made or seen a good video about this? Here's a ...

Re: Scooped chair seat - Maloof style
I have begun to use this method and it works really well after a bit of tweaking. Your method is the only way I can think of doing it in VCarve. Potzmannwoodshop -- would you be willing to share your file for the scooped seat. I need a starting point in v-carve, not really ready to make the plunge ...
