Re: plaque recommendations

I wonder if this is a case for running multiple simulations of the cut using different high resolution texture images and saying “are you really sure that this is the look that you want”?

Re: plaque recommendations

I have made many round table tops with the same method you described in your first post, it works just fine. The closer you can get to edge grain rather than flat grain the more stable the cut of wood is and the appearance is more uniform. Sometimes the grain can take away from the design if it's to...

Re: Thread Milling Tool Path

Probably faster to tap them using a variable speed drill. Get a 2 flute tap (They're stronger) and some cutting fluid.
Do this and you will be finished long before you even figured out the other
