Any body have a VFW pattern they would like to share.....or is there on on here already?

Jeff,

I am sorry that I didn't get those tests done yesterday, I will attempt to do so today and report back. Thanks for your help. bill

Thanks Jeff, The reference to the 7 calls was what I asumed was understood to mean that I was asked to do all the tests that could be thought of, I don't believe that any of the Techs. asked me to do...

Thanks Jeff, yes I did check all of that as per ("7 calls to CW Tech.) I would like to think that I was getting a handle on this and I love the machine when it is working but I have to put a BIG...

Thanks Al I will give that a try. bill

Please, can anyone help with this............I have been unable to use my machine for over a month now, I have made 7 calls to CW Tech. and have done anything and everything that they have suggested,...

Here is another option that might be a little eaiser on your bits, it is also pricey and I am not too sure if the wood grain would let you show detail.

Wow..........how the heck did they get so big, I have a pretty good digital camera and they go directly into Corel, I then save them to my desk top to either edit and delet or place into a folder, I...

I did all of that, and it said that my photo's were too big, went to photo's properties and it said that they were 109 mb.........so how do you make the photo's smaller?????????? Bill...

Michael,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, stuff just happens........I am running Firmware 1.125 and I can say that my machine carves 3/8" material with no problems yet, I have carved 5...

I bring digital photo's in with Corel photo paint, just remember to convert to grey scale and they turn out pretty good. bill

Michael,

I will do that some time tomorrow as it is raining and blowing here in Oregon and my shop is 200' from my house and I just don't want to make the dash right now.

Thanks, Bill

I am running 1.120 and just bumbling along as I don't have a clue what my card in formatted with or what firmware version I am using, I can tell you that in the last couple of hours that I ran 3...

Hi Michael,

What do you mean by "didn't work", did it not give you the prompt or did it cut all the way through the sled. I just got back to my shop and that was what I was going to try. I also...

Thanks Ron, So do I still tell the machine to cut 1/4" ???? Bill

I am sure that someone out there in forum land can tell me how to make cut-outs in 1/4" material.........can you just double-stick-tape it to a piece of 1/2" or is that a no-no???

Thanks, Bill

I tried it twice but am not sure if it worked. bill

I am not feeling real bright here...............how do you attach the file? bill

Thanks again Gunny, I am having problems again......my grips are grouped, do I have to ungroup them in some way or can I do this with them together? and I can not select the Cut-Path option it will...

Thanks dirty dan, I will follow your instructions tomorrow and hopefully have a set of new grips. Do the pieces not "fly" around when cut free? Bill
