I don't seem to have an export to pdf option, perhaps a feature of a newer version than I am using

Most things are simple once you know how to do them Adrian, I never had the need to measure/work in metric until now, not even once, so was out in the dark on this one. I did notice the mm setup, thanks Joe, and set it up. I am trying to print out a template for a guitar part, problem now is its pri...

Thanks for the reply, not working though, the create and ok boxes are greyed out with values like that

Am trying to scale something with mm measurements, any easy way to switch between imperial and metric ?

99% of CNC problems are operator error and every single one of us has made many mistakes, major and minor - So odds are something is skewed in your settings, really impossible to tell without access to the file.

Are you zeroing to the table bed or material top ?

The finish pass doesn't care if its been roughed or not. I use roughing on an as needed basis, and it is needed when hogging out large amounts of material in hard wood and/or plexiglas. Soft woods, shallow cuts you might well get by without the need to rough, totally your choice - And yes, you do ta...

Turned out great obviously, I personally would not have stained it - For the record, I would have used matte clear coat, light sanding after drying then another coat, topped off with a coat of beeswax. I think the time is way too high, should not take more than 4-6 hrs for something that size. I kno...

Purpleheart, large [for me] at 16x12", probably as close to a table top as I will ever get [actually ,my machine is capable of doing one twice this size, would take some nerve, alot of time and a large chunk of wood]. Came out nice, lettering is a little weak. Its a fine line between going too deep...

Inlay is upper left BTW, not right.
That seemed to be an era when I caught on how to impose one model on to another so I went on a bender and did quite a few of them in a short span.
Purpleheart has been hanging near a full decade, still nice and purple, some guys report it fades to brown in time.

More of my wall, many have been there for years and likely going nowhere no time soon, many I do repeats of and some are one-offs - One of my very few inlays upper right

I agree with Scott the carving and your wall. Is it your 401k plan?

No, its my keep my kids/grandkids busy selling my things on ebay when I kick the bucket plan

You are a self admitted petty thief and actually expect a serious reply ?

Get over it, if you are so anti update then turn off all updates on your PC and smart phone, see how well that works out for ya.

Shipping that from AUS to USA I would estimate between $60-$80

By golly, looks like the test was a success !

Hardwood is pretty pricey here too, don't know the dimensions of the wenge but I can see a thick slab like that going over $100.
