I also have downloaded the Next Wave chess pieces. https://nextwavecnc.com/projects/. This issue was addressed four years ago but I'm hoping there will be other solutions to setting the files up for a rotary axis. The files are set up for two sided machining. The two halves would need to be assemble...

Thanks for you response, Dealguy, I've been wondering if there was a way to isolate the vectors.

You could consider plotting the curve by x,y coordinates. Overlay a grid of appropriate scale and assign x, y coordinates to each point on the curve. When creating the lines enter the x,y coordonates to the curve you plotted.

Thanks, Phil

I'm looking for an accurate method to find Zero for the Y axis.

The preview shows what I programmed but the toolpath runs the router off to the left about 6". The machine settings are exactly the same for both t...
