Except for the fact that the painter is going to Heck,and one spot I see, the wood looks good Rocco.

Doesn't look to hard to do from scratch(and mirror)compared to a trace.

IF spoilboard is in...

I should have asked what kind of cuts you were making Rocco.
New bits for the job and charge customer for it.
Profile cuts/
VCarve?
3D or moulding toolpath cuts?

It's very hard to go wrong if...

For some reason it wouldn't take the pics...try again:(

Hey Rocco,
To a small extant it depends on WHICH Mahogany;

So testing would be a good idea.
Only Mahogany I've done on...

I'm not sure if you're doing mitre-fold or not, but this is interesting anyways;
Hmm, not seeing attachment or pics icon as usual :(

Ha Scott!!
Ya, been having fun till this happened.
Than you AGAIN!!
I tried a bunch of stuff, but apparently not "MN"(which is VERY useful!)
I was Z'ing off of spoilboard Scott, with 1.82" white...

I had to take a 2 yr heath hiatus, and the other day I could NOT remember the command to "Nudge" axis other than to do a Spacebar Pause,and then Nudge.

Scott Worden told me years ago, but I think...

Don,

Type VC in command line and under Safe Z pullup.

VERY important if Z-Zeroing to machine bed to add material thickness!!

sorry if I'm misunderstanding request.

NICE Rocco! :)

Great Phil!! :)

Hey Don,
Yep, no roughing pass in Mahogany at .46" depth... BUT I started just off the material, so it was only cutting the stepover.
I've used Jerra and Spetool in both the .125 and .25" shanks....

Mornin' Don,
Thanks! :)
Model was a 3DWav model

Model had a frame, but I made my carved section .46" model height.
I went with that height as I was cutting with a
.125" shank, .25mm Tapered...

Thanks Jerry :)

Carved 2 days ago with a .25mm TBN with one coat Linwax in one pass.

NICE to be Desktopping again! :)
scott

Thanks Jerry! :)

Cutting again today too(now that I figured out some things again:)

Piece of Honduran mahogany gifted to me(finally saw my pencil marks:)

First cut in 2 yrs for a friend in Texas.
Made some Newbie mistakes.

I haven't needed support for years, BUT saved my rear Many times when I first started!! :)
Glad to see they're still helping out on older machines Phil! :)

All I can think of off the bat is PP;
OR SB3 got corrupted somehow, and you may have to do a UR to factory settings?
(after saving these settings if you've modified from default)

IF it's...

Call it "Gremlins" Brad,
And change material size and offset back to correct...and then "Recalculate All" and "Save".

See how that works out?
PITA, but it'll probably get you going again.
scott

Glad you got it sussed Phil! :)
scott

Not sure Brad,
But the material size and the offsets are different from each other for some reason??
Did you change them,or import someone else's file and save it(Vectric uses the last file saved...

Hard tellin' John,
But one looks shouldered(?)to me, and the other even with the shadow...doesn't.

Liking that!!
