I Am Fairly New To My Carvewright Machine And Learning On The Go.
I Am Having Trouble Cutting Circles The Way I Want To.
I Would Like To Put The Circle On The Board And Cut Around It
But Not All The Way Thru. Can Someone Give Me Detailed Instructions? It Would Be Very Helpful And Save Some Of My Hair.

Like this?

Draw your circle, then select cutting bit, in the cutting bit box select 1/8" straight bit, then where it says inset, type in -.0625 (half of the 1/8" bit). In the depth box type in your depth.
I should also add when you type minus in the inset box it will take you to the outside of the circle, if you just type in the number .0625 without the minus sign it will take you to the inside of the circle.

Mark,
Thanks For The Info. Everything Went So Smoothe. It Was Quick
Only A Couple Minutes After Your Info, Before Your Info It Took All Day And Still Was'nt Done.
Thank You & Have A Good Day
David.
