Was wondering if anyone has any tips or trick to get rid rid of or lessen machine lines
when v-carving. I was using a brand new bit and router. Also, I measured the y axis and it is in sync. I tried getting the router perfectly 90deg to the spoil board by using a bent steel rod. I put the bent steel rod in the router chuck and measured the distance with feeler gauges while rotating it. It helped make the cut a lot cleaner but the lines are still there. I am getting a more accurate gauge to get it closer to 90 but was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and how they fixed it. I am cutting into white pine and my cut depth was .0625 each pass.

It looks like the degree parameter for your VBit is not matching the actual degrees of the bit. Adjust accordingly. If you are a Vectric user there is a method posted in the VCarve Tips and Tricks to rectify this.

Ok, thanks that sounds simple enough. I know how to change the angle in vectric but how would I figure out the exact angle on the bit? I did searched through the tips and tricks threads but I didn't see any info on doing this.
