Been posting a lot lately....
My compucarve manual says...
----
The minimum acceptable size of a workpiece that can be inserted into
the CompuCarve is 2.5 inches wide x 0.25 inches thick x 7 inches long. It will be necessary to mount the workpiece onto a jig if any single dimension is smaller than the stated minimums.
----
If I understand correctly a jig is something to hold in place.
I'm not exactly sure how to hold a small piece in place in the compucarve.
My idea would be to glue another flat piece of board onto the top of another piece of wood of the same size. And let the compucarve cut the top piece.
Then split the wood apart. But that seems like a dumb way to do it.
Theres probably a better way of doing it. Just unsure how.
Any experts chime in?
