Ok I am ready to start cutting out patterns that I am buying from pattern depot I tried a couple of weeks ago on the bass pattern and I had the wood in a jig 3/4 inch melomime bottom when the machine did its measuring the message on the screen was board to thick I was cutting a piece of pine so I took it as the machine measured the wood to cut and the jig where did I go wrong can someone tell me how to do it correctly so I can start doing cut outs succesfully and is it poosible to do a cut out with the carving bit instead of the cutting bit. Thanks Doug
