1/32 Carving Bit

[sk8nmike]

OK, made a carving using the 1/32 bit. Did a rough carve first with the 1/16 then dropped the depth .05 and carved again. Had no problems with the bit and it does seem to bring out a little more detail.

Might look at using a 3/16 ball to make the draft cut from.

Cool! What material did you carve?

I used Corin for this part, it will be fitted into a peice of Ipa to form an inlay..

I have always thought of the carving bit as shaving a little off the side of each pass and not really plunging exept on the first pass. Maybe you would get the best carve if you set the draft to none and the bit optimization to none.
