Bit issues

[srwtlc]

John,

What resolution is your model set at (Set Job Dimension and Origin)? Also, what is the size of your model compared to the job dimensions?

If your tool definition is right, you should get good results with 8%, and acceptable results with 10%.

Thanks. I have tried that and it's better. What feed and speeds do you run with that bit? JJ

I use the carve wright 1/16 bits and treat them as a ball nose and use the default settings other than speed and get very good results.

Thanks for the help. I went back and found out that I was using a .stl that I had downsized with meshlab for the carvewright. Once I used the original file it helped a lot.

Looking at your pictures it looks like the letters you are cutting are 2d and you should cut them with a 2d pocketing toolpath.
This will make your project run faster and look a lot nicer in the end.

It’s a stl file. 3D file I thought.
