[/quote] I don't think double-sided job will work with a stationary jig. I am not the brightest bulb in the chandelier when it comes to geometry, but if there isn't a proper reference to flip, I don't think anything will match. Don't beat me up, I am just trying to reason with this.[/quote] The main...

I just can't figure out where the 1/16" offset is coming from. If I remember correctly, it's actually 1/32" error. The error gets doubled when you flip it. Save yourself some grief and follow John's advise and use pins. If you want a jig... make the jig with pins. A very good example is the folks t...

" In theory my jig should be no different " Use pins.... If my jig holds the board in the same orientation as pins would, how would using pins make a difference? I mean if I flip the board in my jig, wouldn't it be the same as flipping it on the pins? From what I have been reading, the software is ...

I have setup a 2 sided design where there is text on the front and the back. The board is 24" x 7 1/2" x 3/4". Yes I have measured the board width and it is exactly 7 1/2" and the settings in VCP 10 are set for 7 1/2". I will be cutting 5 pieces out of this board. The text and the cutout match via t...

Well I just updated the software to 10.014, went in and deleted the files for the part I'm making, went back and recreated the files again and now it is cutting properly!!

So it looks like it could have been a software issue since nothing has changed on my setup jig.

I have a jig on the spoil board the material fits into so the material registration never changes except front to back. So I mill the front, flip the board top to bottom and mill the bottom using the same zero as the top. I guess I assumed the software would know the offset when flipping the materia...

I have VCarve Pro 10.012 and working on a 2 sided project. I created the front side design with text. To keep things in alignment, I copied the design to the back and made corrections so the text would appear correct when looking at the back side. Then I flipped the material front to back using the ...

It was the Lucida Calligraphy

I just finished up this for one of my sisters for Christmas. Two more to get cut this week!

On a side note, I can add graphics to the book graphics but is it possible to add a 3d photo to one side of the book?
Thank you.

Where can we find that PDF? I walked through that video too and on the screen, it looked great until I actually cut it. What a mess!!

Are you using a special bit to mill into the limestone or a regular bit? I would have thought you would need a diamond bit to do stone with water or a water-soluble lubricant.
Looks like an interesting project!
Thanks

Will VCarve Pro 9.0 be upgrading to 9.5 also? I've heard people say yes but then I have also heard after 2 years there is a fee.

Any truth to this information?

Highpockets !!!

If I was there I'd buy you a steak dinner !!! I can't thank you enough. I have been fighting with this for about a week and a half.
Just a few changes in the RIGHT places made all the difference.

Many thanks again.

Yes, it is!! What did I do wrong? I would rather you show or tell me what I did wrong than fix the file and send back.

Thank you!!

Ok, I'm REAL close to what I want. I'm seeing what you guys are saying now that I have clicked on the correct button. I have included the file for you to look at as I'm still milling down into the raised material and leaving a ridge around the outside the hearts. Could you look at the file and tell ...
