Re: Cedar Wood Issue
I've been cutting some local red cedar with great results - using a 1/4" 60 deg V bit for all the cuts to eliminate bit changes. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10214481106568422&set=a.1857808931943.107489.1442470620&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10214481106568422&se...

Side Clamps?
Just ran a job of pocket and inlay boards, the inlays had the material cleared off the field with a 1/4" end mill. Mill needed to move off the edge of the board, so trying to hold tight without downward pressure. I have a 90 deg corner bracked bolted to the deck for the lower right corner, and pushe...

Cut into Aluminum Bed!
So, two questions: 1. Using 1/4" solid carbide end mill. Is the bit salvageable if I send it for sharpening? About 1/4" of the end is full of aluminum now. Paid about $25 for it, sharpening from our source is normally about $8. 2. Looks like I can loosen the bed hold-down bolts and flip segments ove...

Re: "Jumps" in cut pattern
Think I'm done fiddling with the cut design - did more clean-up, my last test leg took about three minutes sanding to clean off the little lines remaining. Interesting, but each of the tabs seems to have a vertical line on each end of the tab. . . https://tqsspw-bn1306.files.1drv.com/y3mPYylyDf7uhR9...

Re: "Jumps" in cut pattern
Just finished panning an entire leg, found a couple problems, think I fixed them, and have sent a new .tap file to the machine for testing. Will post an update after I run that. Thx

"Jumps" in cut pattern
Set up a path to run a bunch of stool legs from 1" maple, getting these "bumps" in my edges. Consistent enough on all four legs that I think it's either in my design graphic or in the machine's interpretation. https://upsspw-bn1306.files.1drv.com/y3mh9vYRJXCcNgyghM0cuBgmZ8_d4riR6EfSvIworbxiABNNzc6Yv...

Re: laser
We're definitely interested in adding laser capability to our shop. Seems to me that it might be possible to attach a laser head to the system, define the offset from the center of the router, and run that, not having to buy another table, guide and motor movement set. Anyone heard of this being pos...

Re: Aspire 4 Draw Polygon Line Problem
What toolpath did you use? I've got an extremely complicated design that I need to do some single line marking in - almost all of it is cut with a V-Carve toolpath, but when I try to set up a new project with one single line in it, I get the same error message "1 Open Vector bring ignored" - however...

Re: Aspire 4 Draw Polygon Line Problem
What you're calling an incomplete vector are the lines the program calls open vectors, and it won't use them. Just did some fiddling around drew a two point line, did a "select all open vectors", and it selected it. So, did a right-click and "close vector, move end points" and the program does a clo...

Re: Aspire 4 Draw Polygon Line Problem
Using VCarve Desktop ver 8.024 - have a number of designs with lines which don't join anything, therefore considered open vectors. SelectedVectors.JPG The software won't calculate a Profile toolpath to cut them, I get this error message: VCarveVectorError.JPG There appears to be a clickable option V...
