Something new I need to learn, I have the long carving bit, and on the board setting I set it for the 1/8 long carving bit, when I put the outline pattern in and it outlines the pattern, it tells me that it only allows 1" deep and my board thickness is 1.203. It said that it will carve 2.25 deep so what are the steps to get it to carve the 1.203

You can carve 2.125" deep but you can still only do 1" deep cutouts.

Carving bits are for carving and cutting bits are for cutting.

You can try this trick: http://www.carvewright.com/assets/service/Tutorials/Design_Project_Carving_Cutouts.pdf

I didn't think of useing the right tool for the right job, would the ER-11 work with useing a 2.5 long cutting bit..

I think it could be possible to put a 2" cutting bit (better be 3/16") in the ER11 and assign the 1/8" long carving bit to the path. There would be no tabs. You would be breaking new ground again!

Make small passes and really tighten the bit in the ER11 adapter.

I hit another bump, I used the tutorial that Connie posted and when I tried to place the tabs, as you can see the tabs are cut though... Thank you Connie and Dan or trying to get me trough this

Very strategic placement of picture. I would have thought the other part would have been the hard part to carve. rofl

I think the tabs show is because the tab height is higher than the edge of your pattern. Try reducing the tab height to the minimum (1/8") or set the depth of the pattern a little shallower. Also try using a flat tab instead of a wedge.

With this technique, you do not use outline pattern or assign cut path.

The tabs were designed to work with "Pierced" and are invisible to a cut path - it will cut right thru them. Since you are ding it deep, try pierced and use the tabs.

Well I got the pattern to work with the tutorial that Connie posted.. Steve, didn't you have a way to make the pierce wider at the base ?

I'm not sure of what you mean by "wider at the base". I usually outline the pattern and then offset the outlined path by about .25" and then make the offset a pierced carve region. I usually set my tabs to 1/4" wide, flat, and make sure the height of the each tab is below the surface of the edge of the pattern.
