I have changed my mind a hundred times over a door design. I looked at door mfg's sites and i saw this and my thought was to take that design that is in the glass part and either cut that into a solid core door or on to an applied substrate.
I want to take that design from the picture and i have read about inkscape doing bitmap tracing. I downloaded it and tried it but was not happy with the results. Any of you inkscape experts out there have a link to a tutorial or info on the best way to turn this into a vector or dxf file?
Once that is done what would be your recommendation for machining strategy and tooling? My thought was profiling inside the vectors? Use a 1/4" or 3/8" endmill.
The picture may not have enough resolution to do a good job. Does anyone have any dxf's of door designs? Or mfg sites that have the dxf's?
