Jay,
Where did you find the feedrates and spindle speeds for shoes? I thought cnc food was good but you beat it this time. If the shoe fits, Vcarve it.:D

Damian

PS Are you wearing these shoes...

Show around that picture and I'm sure the $$ will be there for you. The orders will snowball for you just the way your router plans/kits have.

Awesome results Joe. The entire Vcarve collection is great to use. How'd you have time to cut the picture with all the kits your making? One word of advice- once you start cutting the PhotoVcarve and...

I'm not sure what to do for WinCNC. I use Mach3. I can zero each axis on its own so the center origin is not be lost for x and y. I just re-zero the z. I would think this could be done in WinCNC...

Sparkgirl,
I just used normal Krylon spraypaint on my carvings into Corian. Has held up well so far. Others may give you better advice on this. I just masked it around the lettering but not very...

For the price, I think Vcarve is the best option. Maybe someone will point you in another way but I don't know of anything better. I can say that when it comes to support after the sale Vectric is...

Mike,
Glad to hear and see your problems getting worked out. I am not sure how long you have been running Vcarve but I think you will find that the support at Vectric is top notch. If you haven't...

Mike,
From the looks of the picture I would have thought the v-bit had a flat on the end instead of a sharp point. If your z depth is off the rounded area would only show up at the very top of the...

I have now cut several different inlays to test this method. It looks to me as if it will work. Vcarve Pro is just flat out one super program.:D

This is just a sample inlay I made using Vcarve Pro. Several of us on the Vcarve forum have been trying to make a inlay process to allow for sharp corners both on the inside and outside on an inlay....

That pic is just plain awesome. Excellent job. Is the lighter color a paint fill or is it bare wood?

Can you rig up a pen or marker to your machine to draw the part out instead of cutting it? You may be able to tell where the problem is better by letting the machine draw it on paper and running at a...

This may be another silly response. I don't have any experience with a plasma machine but could you part be moving during cutting. It is hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it is towards the...

Very nice looking Jay!

Very nice work Chuck! What is the overall size of the picture? The new Vcarve Pro along with PhotoVcarve and Vector Art 3D machinist are an awesome set of tools to work with. Keep up the super work!...

Excellent work Jason. Keep up to good work.

If I jog the router around before I load a large file (3D file for lithophane) everything works fine. After the file is loaded, if I make movements the router will continue to run for approx. .25" on...

I cut with the 60 degree vbit at 30 ipm with a max depth of .06. The cutout was done with a .25" spiral upcut bit with a max depth of .06 and a feedrate of 25ipm. I can go faster but I don't see the...

Thanks Jason. It was fun doing this together with her. I really like using Corian for stuff like this. It is easy to carve and finish. You can really put some small details in and not have to worry...

This is a plaque I made for my daughter for her first communion. She has to present a give to the alter that was made by her and a parent. So, the two of us designed the sign last week and I cut it...

Fist cut with 3D VectorArt Machinist from Vectric. Check it out.

Like Tony mentioned above, just enter in a small stepover (10-15%) rate and a true 3D image will be carved. PhotoVcarve lets you have the option of doing a true 3D engraving or as you mention a 2D...

Another point I would make for PhotoVcarve is that you can block out certain colors if you want. In other words, if you just want to carve a face out and leave out the background all you have to do...

Lithophane and light box. Photovcarve software used for the lithophane. Picture is 4" x 6". First pic is with backlight turned off. Second light is on.

No grid for drawing that I know of. I've only had the software a few weeks so if you want email Tony Mac and see if he can give you an answer. He is very helpful. I make all my text in Inkscape and...

Steve,
I own Vcarve and it is a great product to have. I think to answer your question about making a chamfer hole you could do the following. Select the holes that you want to make with the...

Very nice door Jason. Hope you find the dxf files. :)

Jason,
Corian cuts much like any other hardwood. It was very nice to work with. Very clean,sharp edges after routing. I just have to get more. It's was so easy to paint the letters because I could...

My first Vcarve project. Made this for my dad (Harley fanatic). This is cut in 1/2 corian with a 90 deg vbit. Painted the carvings, sanded several times down to a fine grit (600) sandpaper and...

Second Litho. These work out great.
