Re: Gaps in inlays?

tiger_purr Lower the speed on the router down to about 12K rpm. I would set the Pass depth to 1/2 of the diam. of the bit or 0.062. Also the step over need to be only about 10%. ( This will cause your run time to go up and can be delt with by using a second bit and do a "large area clearance tool pa...

Re: Conversion of drawings to Vector graphic

Detaylor1242 I have also been playing with the idea of "teaching" my shark to do intarsia, so I am still learning it my self. What I have found is if you scan in a file and than have Aspire/Vcarve trace bitmap you will get one set of vectors on each side of the line. You can delete one set of vector...
