That's right!:banana:
I cut this 10"x12.5" (actual cut area) Lithophane without a roughing toolpath on .25" corian using a 45 degree V-bit!
I took the picture of this huge sculpture/waterfall at the Jackson Rancheria Casino in Jackson California yesterday.
I have attached the PhotoVCarve cutting parameters page, as you can see I told the software that I am using a 0.031 ball nose bit.
I set the Z zero at -0.1" and cut it in one pass.
Cutting at a 45 degree angle is essential with this method as it is a deep cut.
With the V-bit once the first pass is cut each subsequent pass is only shaving the edge of the previous pass.
This is why the roughing pass is not needed.
