Centerline Chatter

[cnsranch]

What AskBud did in another thread was to make sure that his centerline text carved deeper than the depth of the carve region. So, if your text normally carves, say, .15" into the board, and your CR is , say, .10" deep, the resunting text is carved .05 deep into the wood.

That's ok, but what if you want text in a CR that's .25" deep - the bit carves "air", it never get to the board.

Centerline is designed to carve from the top-most surface of the board, period. The only way to get the effect attached is to fool the machine in one way or another - and Jeff's right, if you're fooling the machine, you're taking a chance, be it low or high risk.

cnsranch,


Nice job,
please post photos with the stain and finish.

I noticed when ever I try to fool my Machine,
most of the time, it ends up fooling Me!! :???:

Ken - I will post when done.

Here are the mpc's, don't get much simpler.

Text is on #1 only for reference, needs to be deleted before carving. #2 carves after 1 is done, I'll let you figure out how to do that :-D

Thanks for Files I'll play around with them tonight,
I did fool around with the Center line in a Carved Region
this afternoon --- Kind of fun :wink:

Get kinda ugly when you take your CR to .25 though, huh?
