mike try to make the inner oval a very little smaller... i mean offset it with a larger amount.. like originally offseted 0.75 then use 0.76 or 0.77 ... these numbers only examples... it migth works... my guessing is, tool diameter too close to the sweeping profile radius.. so enlarging the sweeping...

eliot i saw your post last nigth, i just was too tired for anything... only format you can import in 3d the triangulated surfaces... for 2d, dxf and eps working... i really sorry your situation.. those people who draw out, or design a trailer (camper) with inventor or solidwork, they can derivate co...

richard sorry, it was not my intention to mislead you... the 3 sized collet thread is true... but... what you posted number of your motor, that shows a type of motor made in shenzen, china... most motor has STANDARD thread... means 14x0.75 you did not not mention, you dont have standard size... on m...

er 11 is an industrial standard... there are no coarse or finer thread...
if you buy an er nut, collet, wrench or anything associated with er # , they are must be match to each other...
it is like morse taper, or chucks has the jacobs taper... they are standard..

lynn im glad if it is helps you out... yes, cnc simple and easy... after some practice... turbocnc a very great program... i used it... it has no continous velocity, but turbocnc run on the most basic computer... i believe even a at286 could drive it... while mach and other modern controler need a s...

dave as oxenham mentioned, 3d programs has a real learning curve... i would suggest you take his offer... what he showed already, possible he makes it you rigth... this time i try to get grasp on 3dcoat... a very great program.. comparison? with aspire about after half hour i created a domed shape p...

Lynn greeting on this great forum... another member, greaseatatto also have small mill like you using.. hope you can make enough stuff for christmas, so you can surprize yourself with aspire.. for modeling organic, and artistic stuff, aspire really need... also gives a lot more freedom for establish...

rest of pitures for solidworks and other modelerprograms... all similar program can extract shells of a solid model... on shells edges also can be extracted... so both program can make simple vectors of conturs.. another way simply subtract the ready model of a larger block, and extracting this surf...

eliot here i try to give some explanation how you can solve this issue on your own, without expenses cad like solidworks or inventor.. the iges format can be imported in the free cad and exported as stl... so if you have only iges format you can convert it... http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fr...

eliot i just wondering what result you got... reason i asking, because already over 5000 user of vectric programs, and no one reported 2 inch error on 96 inch object... this error so large that it can not came from known issues.. what i explained, the pixelisation error, that is a virtual error, but...

eliot file formats despite their names are different, they are basically same... all of them triangulated, or some of them has quads... but as result, they all of them same... if model not too complex, you can give a try to model directly in aspire... for search, on the vectric site.. www vectric co...

eliot of autocad... if it were a solid model, the section command create a vector on a defined plan of a solid... you can show this screenshot autocad users if you dont have autocad... they knows it. in this example i created a block, and definiing 3 point i created a vector on an angled plane...it ...
