Photo vcarve help
Tried running my first pvc and didn't get the results I had hoped for. Here a photo of the result I got. It seems that it cut to deep. I had the depth set at .04.I tried posting the cut file but it said it is to big. Thanks for any help

Re: Photo vcarve help
what was your process? Have you finished it or just cut it, sorry but the photo is a bit small for my eyes lol. If all you have done is cut it then you need to finish it to bring out the detail.
Have a read through some of the gallery posts as a lot of them contain details of how they were done & there are also some good tips, I would post a link to mine but I still haven't completed one I am actually happy with
I Read a lot of posts by other people who have though

Re: Photo vcarve help
Yeah for some reason the picture didn't come out big. It ran and didn't leave any space between the lines. I think it might look good as a lithophane but was trying for just a picture. The preview looks good. I did wipe some dark stain into it and it shows up but not like what I was hoping for. I got a file of a harley from another user on here and was hoping for similiar results. .04 depth 60 degree v-bit 75% line spacing. Number of lines 230 space between lines .035 line angle 65. I tried to post the file but ut said to big and wouldn't let me.

Re: Photo vcarve help
For a picture I usually use a line spacing of between 120% to 135% and a depth of .025 to .040. The line spacing and depth of cut needs to be wide enough that it does not overlap the previous line. Hope this helps some.

Re: Photo vcarve help
I bet all you need to do is put sanding sealer on before you put your stain.
