Vectric Customer

I post .eps files because they are smaller in size in most cases and also not everyone will use the same setup/cutters, etc that I may have used. They are easy to import and then set to your size and equipment.

I recently purchased six .25 end mill bits (Freud) - Of the first three that I used two broke in the first twenty minutes, after that I have not had one break. I went back to the store where I purchased them and they replaced them at no cost without question - I think they know that the steel is not...

Thanks for quick reply - much appreciated.

I have always cut profile cuts from left to right - without me knowingly changing anything they are now reversed on new projects. How do you determine the cut direction??

I did not see anywhere that this eagle was produced by Harley and there was no registered mark, I deleted the logo for all the above reasons.

It was done in VCarve Pro, saved and posted as an .eps file. Should work for you.

Original post would not let me include these two.

Several years ago someone posted some of these plaque shapes, I have added several more. Thought they would be of use to someone.

The only thing that I have been able to do in this regard is to change it from text to curves and then just find the size and fit the new number over the old one - then delete the old one. That way you do not have to replace the complete number and the spacing will be the same.

I have a cabinet shop that I buy all my wood panels from - they ordered several sheets of the MDF and have them in stock for me. They told me, and it is true - once you use a bit for the MDF do not go back and try to cut normal wood. I keep two sets of cutters separate and that seems to extend the l...

I am having good luck with 3/4" MDF with an oak veneer on both sides. Can hardly tell the difference from solid oak when hanging on a wall. The oak veneer finishes and stains well and I seal the edges with a white glue watered down and then it finishes really nice. I put a piece in a bowl of water o...

I know they won't let me post it with the Logo intact so I have deleted it - I cut mine approx. 11" X 11" with a 60 dvb

I used a program called SMI Commercial - www.carvingtechnologies.com. It has a bit of a learning curve, but if I can learn it, anyone can.

I have a friend that wanted me to do this in a plaque. Started with the .jpg in another program that let me change it to a line drawing and save as a .bmp. Then used Vcarve to draw vectors. It took about 57 minutes to cut.

It looks very much like a game board that I did for a customer, but they called it Sorry. I have posted a preview and the .crv file if it helps you.
