I'm trying to create a model part (ex. Fender for a Woodie) that has two different curves along the top and sides. I've created the part, and both curves but have not been successful in sweeping both the x cross section, and then the y. Is there a better way to accomplish my goal?

Well, I think I've figured out the problem that I have been having. In analyzing the behavior of the system I was only having a problem when the tool was using a Vcarve toolpath. In looking at my Post Processor I noticed that I was using the CNC Shark Laser, not the CNC Shark Arcs. Once I made this ...

Michael, Still working the issue. I've been volunteering at our local high school and have had my hands full of 34 "teenagers" trying to learn about woodworking. Quite rewarding, but I need to be cloned a few times to handle them all :D I'm trying to upload a couple of pics that show what the machin...

THey are used for setting up my cutting fixture for using a table saw ...

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.

Hi... I'm fairly new to Aspire, and continue to learn something new every day. Looking forward to the upcoming symposium in Denver. In the mean time, I have figured out how to create a square dish with gently flowing side walls similar to the round dish that is available as a component in the clipar...
