Recently i visited Lahore, one of the biggest city of Pakistan, where in one shop i saw a beautiful hand carved model of Badshahi Mosque carved in Shesham (Red Rose) wood...carved 50 years ago and that was the only one piece that was carved..and the cost is $5000US without shipping.. It was so beaut...

Mike... i will just say wonderful work... The cut quality at high speed also seems great.... Thanks for posting the beautiful art.

Best regards
Khalid

Did a new 3D carving(woodland scene) 8" x 20"=160 square inches in 2 hours. 1.33 sq in per min. .........Give raster "x" machining a try along with the other suggestions

Good Luck
Mike

Thanks Mike for updation and sharing ur experience...Can u post the picture of part u cut!!

Well I finally got a chance to try your method!!! It was definatly an improvement on speed. I had to set my acceleration up to about 100 on my X and Z axis in mach. I ended up losing steps on the second try. The first time I did the cut it took 1hour36min the second time I cut the same part I got i...

Wow man..what a good job u have done on it.. Thats really a great candle holder..Now i also have to machine it;)
Thanks for posting great pics

Now All i have to do is to hang this mantle on wall;)

Hi Khalid, I cant believe you haven't made any money! :shock: The items you've posted here and on cnczone are really great. You should have sold that door you carved, it was fantastic. :) I made little money in previous year Funfair arranged by our company... From that day i just making stuff for m...

Any Shopbotters doing this? Khalid is working with Mach3. I know how to increase the cutting speed but I don't know if the SB software can do the axis travel individualy. Phil.. If u can put the screen shots of your software, then hope we will find the way to increase the speed of 3D carving...I sa...

Dear Grease:)
No doubt its very difficult to manage the time... I am mechanical engineer doing job.... The rest of the time with family and CNC.. 4~6 Hr's sleep;)... The life is too short and various things to do...

Khalid, Thanks for the pics. The egg is great. Your home enhancing is fantastic. I'm guessing that you are becoming the talk of your neighborhood. You don't know how beautiful i designed the egg...and i projected a grape relief on that egg... but unfortunatly due to lack of suitable ball nose cutte...

WOW Khalid, Now I'm going to have to reconfigure mach3 and set up to try your method!!!! Thank you for your research on this. How is your surface coming out ? DO you need to do much sanding?? I will post as soon as I have a chance to do more 3d work. Thank you, Nick The surface of machined peice is...

Following is the simple technique u can dramatically increase the speed of ur 3D contouring... I use normally raster machining strategies as shown in attached figure.. I increased my Z-axis and X-axis motor accelerations twice as compare to Y-axis motor.. I got dramatic time reduction from 3 hrs to...

Finished pics:)

Yaa David.. I did cut one incomplete grapes-egg.. Basically i did only roughing pass..i was out of sharp ball nose for finish machining...

I removed the part, sanded and polished and made a decorating piece:)

Always use ramping options in vcarve.. ur tool slipped during direct plunging.. if u are using straight endmill u will get the above problems too...
