Grill Handle
I thought I would experiment and try making a New handle for my Weber grill. I am missing something.
Why I am not cutting through both sides of the tool path?
I have attached a screen shot and the file I tried to make.
Thank You

Re: Grill Handle
Lost as to what handle should look like! Do you have a photo or drawing of what the handle looks like?

Re: Grill Handle
Thank You High Pockets !
I followed your changes entering them 1 at a time to try and understand how they changed the result.
I would have never found that 'Boundary Offset" effected the depth of the cut !
Thank You for your quick response ! Now I can go get some sleep and work on cutting this out tomorrow.

Re: Grill Handle
Sharkcutup, I am working on something like this photo. I hope to be able to carve a few friends names in them and give them as gifts, I have 2 friends that are hardcore Weber grillers.

Re: Grill Handle
$49 for a freaking handle, somebody's getting burnt.
Nice project though.

Re: Grill Handle
Another question, I have seen numerous video's on using the moulding tool path. I have not found any on creating the actual moulding profile. Does anyone have a favorite videos or guides they can share?
Thank You

Re: Grill Handle
Scott, a good place to look for profiles is a router bit catalog. There are some web sites that show the profiles and it is a simple matter to just grab the pic and use it to trace a profile you like.
Years ago I had a catalog of all sorts of victorian moldings but I gave it away. I am thinking Leo has it cause I gave him a ton of books when we moved out that area. Maybe not though.

Re: Grill Handle
Just to add to what Ted said, some time ago I found profiles in PDF format & when imported it turned out they were already vectors, it was a couple of years ago so sorry I can't remember where they came from so you will have to do your own searching.

Re: Grill Handle
While that may seem expensive to you BigC & obviously you could make yourself one cheaper for your own use BUT could you make them much cheaper if you were making them as a Business & selling them?
I haven't looked into material costs & ovioully labour costs for something like this but once those are factored in what sometimes looks like a huge profit is actually quite minimal, not saying that is the case here obviously though

Re: Grill Handle
Something tells me that a lot of those handles do not get sold. . . . .

Re: Grill Handle
Well This project has been put on hold till I learn more about tool paths, I did a practice run and my Hobby Piranha CNC does not like the 1" plunge and cut of the moulding tool path. I tried slowing my plunge rate to 10" per minute it did not mind that, I slowed the feed rate to 30" per minute and the Piranha was still not like cutting that much material. It would take forever to cut at any slower rate.

Re: Grill Handle
Hmmm, pass the vectors over to someone with Aspire and have them create an stl for you?
