i'm sure I could find the info somewhere else, but would prefer it be from someone using it. what is a drag bit? bluridg

ack in September, I posted how to create an unusual {for me}. as usual received many responses. one of the difficulties for their answers was my difficulty in explaining what I wanted it to do. with every ones help. was able to do what I wanted.

can you send a picture? bluridg

found the material set up, thank you. and yes am talking about moving from the end of one pass to the start of next pass. am using mach 3. found screen for varying jog speed, but so far have not found rapid movement speeds

with much help from the forum, making the two inch vertical cuts .1" per pass. have cut the time from about 2.5 hours to 16 minutes, and a much cleaner cut. thank you forum contributors. now, how do I change the "safe z" FROM 1.8 to 1 and how do I vary the speed from the end of one pass to the begin...

thank you all. will keep you posted with the process and also what I plan do do with them....bluridg

thanks for all the input. lgm, think I said was using profile, not vcve. glenn, stock is 2X2X25. drew the vector, made 25 copies .03 apart. want to cut 2" deep each pass. don't want to put too much pressure on the cnc by taking too deep a cut. made 25 vectors with the deepest cut being .5 in. rather...

yes, that is it. and yes, I do have bits that long. was custom furniture builder. never heard of a cnc. all router lots of hand held cutting using jigs. most of the bits I used then, are collecting dust

I want to make a series of arcs on the side of stock that is 2" thick want to cut the whole 2"s in one pass, obviously very shallow cuts. can't seem to figure out how to make this happen. I've always made z zero at the top. should I make it the bottom? and how to make bit go to - 2 before it begins ...

mike, thank you. so all the symbols mean flat?

the sign is very good. for those of us who always have "Pandora" playing in the shop, but zero music knowledge other than listening, I don't understand. would be what? ted
