Long Work Piece Programing

Post by ACGC-High School »

Hello,

I have a student that would like to put a design on an 8' long board. Is there a way I can program the machine to do that? I know that we will have to move the work piece several times during the process, but what is the easiest way to calculate that an make everything look seamless? I have VCarve Pro 6.5 and 8.0 and I am using a Shark Pro HD. Thanks for any help in advance!

You will want to use Tile Toothpath. There should be several videos on YouTube on the subject. I use it all the time and works great.
