A while ago I posted my "Business Card Holder" project here asking why the back and front did not line-up. There were a couple of comments then the thread went off elsewhere. Well I found a solution that is a time-saver (and wood saver). I made a sled for 6 X 5 5/16 X 3/4 pieces. On one piece I do the name on the front using optimal, then flip the piece over in the sled and carve the back of the front and base using draft mode - quite sufficient for this. I use the table saw and miter saw to cut the parts to size - saves ware on the machine and the cutting bit. Then I put in a new piece and carve the back and let the machine cut this one out because of the pattern shape. For this one I use best or optimal depending on the complexity of the pattern and how well my "mop" will clean it up.
