Morning Eugene, Yep, first 3 small batches were screwed and onion-skinned(more like potato-skinned), but took too long the way I did it. With scroll saw ready wood(sanded to thickness when I get it) and carpet tape actually got time machine time down to 1:30 each button.
This was a play day on my "official" day off Like I said I created most of my problems by going with the random thin rips. Was mainly trying out some "S" flourishes a guy on Vectric gave me and the new Kyocera 1/8" engraving bits (like them and only $4-6 each).
Like the Fluting/circular array toolpath for these as you can increase/decrease size of button and it doesn't really affect the times or the look as much as VCarving does(and no flat depth "look").
Needed some "Unique" buttons for a customer/friend up North.
Plan on trying onion-skin again as a Vacuum jig is next.
Thanks! Padauk today and the 22" inlay gets unclamped Be nice to work with 4X24" sheet stock instead of the rips.
