Speaking of chip carving and vector V bits, I have a need for a little help. When you put three circles together (hexagonal close-pack symmetry for the crystalographers out there), you have an intersection of a triangle with slightly curved lines. I need this shape (the interior of the triangle) cut with a 90 degree bit to a depth of 1/8" to 3/16".
If I try three circles and apply a V (90), moving them together creates a prominent line the full depth of the V. Doing the circles as a carve area results in a rough shape approximating what I need, however, rough, being a raster rather than a vector. I thought about using some font with a centerline cut, but haven't found anything close enough.
The triangles are about 1/4" corner to corner. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
