The machine was just working fine on a profile cut. I switched to a v bit, zeroed Z and tried to run a v carve file. The router did not turn on, it moved about 6" to the right of where it was...
I need advice for bits, feeds and speeds for cutting rubber. I will be cutting round disks (4”, 3” and 2” dia) out of 1/2” thick hard rubber from an old conveyor belt. I’ve got a vacuum hold down...
No, just one Z. I did not know that. Interesting. I will renumber the tool and try again. Thanks!
Desktop has been working fine. I created a part file with Vcarve Pro 7.5. When I ran it, the router did not turn on (switch is on) and it began moving X&Y. I hit stop and I got an error message...
Thank you for the great info and advice. I'll give the candlestone a try and experiment with cutting deeper in one pass. My ball nose is not a taper bit, but I'd prefer to use one for increased...
What size cutters are you both using? The Vectric tutorial video I watched said max depth should always be between .08 and .1. I wonder where they came up with that? For practice purposes, acrylic...
Change the rough carving max depth to .08?

PhotoVCarve lithophane issue: rough cut tool marks visible after finish cut. It is not uniform, i.e. it is worse in some others than others.

The only odd thing was that about a week ago my pre-programmed keypad moves all went from jog speed to move speed. I did not take the time to troubleshoot that as it was merely annoying and I could...
Thanks for all the replies. I just got home and I will be troubleshooting and will answer all questions tonight. But you will notice though that I posted a close-up video of the left X screw shaft...
My desktop started jamming and making terrible noises in the X and Y tonight.

Any ideas what's wrong?

I am away from my computer at the moment, but I'm sure that is my problem. Thanks Adrian!

No, I'm generating toolpaths from PW3D and opening them with the SB control software.
On the Material Size and Margins screen it shows XY Origin Position as x:0.0 and y:0.0
I'm trying to run my first toolpath generated with PW3D on my desktop. When I run the cut file, the machine goes the opposite direction from what I intended. So, starting at 0,0 (front left...
The inside cuts are one toolpath, and the outside is a separate toolpath. The toolpath previews looks fine.

If only it were that simple. The stock and the spoil board are very secure.

Please see attachments. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Wow Jack, that was exactly me the other night. :)
To answer the other questions; roughing and finish were separate files and different bits (1/4" and 1/8" round). I zeroed XY with the prox...
OK, any ideas what went wrong on the left side? The right side looks pretty good. The roughing cut is where things went awry. This is a Buddy with a 48" power stick. It's the first time it's been...
Jack, why use something simple when you can do it this way?

Amen. How right you are.
Personally, I would not do this as a 3D project, but did you try TurboSquid for a model? http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm?keyword=canoe+paddle&media_typeid=2
