Re: T-slot Screw Size for hd520
Tony, If you go to your local hardware store, you can get 5/16" brass toilet bolts. These should slide in to the slots. They are what I use.

Re: Letters on preview not spaced the same on wood
Mitch,
Would you please post the crv (drawing) file. The problem may be easier to see that way. Are you using the profile tool path?

Ralph gives a good description of how to re-register a project accurately. It should work for your drumsticks.

Re: Help for VCarve Engraving on a Convex Surface
Rod,
It's always good to hear from you.
The biggest challenge for this project is registering the drumstick properly for engraving.
There's a good description somewhere here on the forum. I'll go check.

Re: Cutting Clock Hands
Just a thought: I've made clock hands from 1/64, or 1/32 plywood. I purchased it from hobby shops that have model airplane supplies. If necessary, I make a small diameter hub and glue it to a hand.
