Depends on the HD and Lowes. My local stores do not carry it. But some of the posts I have read on the Shop Bot forum indicate that they have purchased it at either location.
I would check some...
QJuice,
I do all of my test carves in MDF. When I get it right I then carve with the real wood. I do use a Dust Collector when I run the CW. I wear a mask with I cut MDF on my table saw.
Check...
Here is the pattern
Thanks
Joe
I am working on a set of carvings that I want to sell. I will post a preliminary version of the pattern tonight when I get home.
Thanks
Joe
Thanks RayTrek,
The wood is very hard and dense and heavy.
When carving the, not much dust, but lots of little flakes all over the place.
The dust collector picked up most but the flakes were so...

Yes just Chinese calligraphy.
Thanks Dan I will pass this on.

Jim,
Purple heart is an exotic hardwood from Central and South America.
Here is a wikipedia entry for you.

dholzric,
Not sure what you mean by a text addon? You can download many true type fonts that will allow you to type Chinese characters. You will also have to install the east Asian language pack...
Here is my latest carving. My wife is Chinese and her father is an award winning calligraphist.
If you cannot read Chinese characters, ;-) this is the character for Love.
Carved in purple...
Thanks bergerud,
It does indeed indicate that the depth is .008. How do you correct this situation?
Thanks
Joe
Thanks John,
That is a good tip. I have started to look a ZBrush as something I can use to complement MOI. It is good to hear that you are using both.
I will watch the tutorials on your web...
I have been doing a lot of research on this one. The problem with many of the 3D cad applications is that they are set up for engineering solutions.
I purchased MOI and it is great for generating...
Thanks for the tips.
Jeff, I have checked the height in the pattern editor and it is 255.
Good tip Pratyeka, I will try that.
Thanks
Joe
I am doing a recessed carve from a pattern I created.
The depth of cut is .25, the height is 999, I want the top of the of the pattern even with the work surface. I have a medium draft angle set....
Hello ratter
There is no way to cut a vector line with any kind of radius.
But there are a few ways around this.
I have used a cad package to draw up such slope lines and then you can export...
Yes, Chris, I did change the board thickness. Point taken on saving the original mpc before making changes. Good idea.
Joe
Here is the MPC Chris. Just to let you know. This is not the original.
I was having the below problem and was trying to find out what was causing it.
I was having trouble getting the CW to...
I went back and checked by MPC file. The pattern bit is set to 1/16" ballnose. I normally do not change this setting.
When I ran the part I answered "no" to cut board to size.
Joe
Yes,
1.134
I have not upgraded. I want to see others run into with the latest.
Joe
Al,
You have got a really good eye. Yes, that is a SC rotozip bit. Yes 1/8" bit and 1/8" sleeve for the Rock. I had one sitting on my desk and wanted to see how it fit into the sleeve and check...
I have seen the same message. I had to do a double take.
Took the .mpc file rechecked the bits and re-uploaded. It still asked for the 1/8" carving bit. I loaded the 1/8" cutting bit and it...
Hello All,
The Rock came today, When I got home from work I watched the video a few times and installed the Rock. I had no problem loosing the QC. Did not have to heat it at all. I have not...
Hi LG,
Exactly, I want to do most of my work in a modeling package, I unfortunately, am not an artist type. So I need a hard dimensioning CAD program.
Then I can export to .stl and make...
Michael,
Even with the 1" limitation, Being able to clean up a 3D model after a scan would be very helpful. Also if you wanted to scale the scanned model, as shown in the STL Importer video (BMW...
