I have been making these for my shop.
Thoughts?

Re: Need a Box?
Thanks, Jim for sharing,
Way too big for my machine but I wonder if I copy and paste the vectors will it work out ok
also I need to change to mm and alter the tooling. Hopefully, it will be fine
Regards

Re: Need a Box?
You don't need to change to mm. The post processor does that for you. You can work in whatever units you like within VCarve (even a mixture of both) and, when you save the toolpaths, it will all be converted to the same set of units.

But do I still have to change my tooling bits to mm?

Re: Need a Box?
They can be anything you want them to be as long as they match what you're actually using. I often do jobs with 3 or 4 toolpaths where half the tools are metric and the other half are imperial.BigC wrote:I didn't know that Adrian, please excuse my ignorance.Adrian wrote:You don't need to change to mm.

Jim,
Thank you for the file. It's a nice design, and I'll be using it eventually. I just need to store it where I can find it again.
