    Default Flush mounting speakers

    Can the design software make the cutout, flush mount, and drill the mounting holes for this speaker?

    Doing a little advertising, are we?

    Edited: Apprarently you didn't intend this for advertising purposes and thus I have to apologize for the mistake on my part. I guess it seemed so simple a task and threads and examples of what the machine would establish that if it's just to mount the speaker that it appeared not to be a legit question. Once again I apologize for being mistaken and the comment.

    sendler, the machine can do this with ease, and adjust for to the assorted sizes of speakers that you might use.

    Default That's a start

    I was able to get that far with the trial software but some of the drivers that I would want to use have flats on two or four sides and the mounting holes aren't evenly spaced around the circumference. The cut out would be circular though unless I was dealing with a ribbon tweeter which is rectangular with rounded corners ect. I appreciate your feedback as I am trying to get an idea of the capabilities of the Carvewright before purchasing one, only to find out that it's software can't do the cad layouts that I need. Follow the link and scroll down to see the technical drawing for an example of what I am trying to do.

    Try this file and see if its what you are looking for.
    I played around with the make spline tool and the change form tool to get the outside rad. I started with a square to get the shape.
    Looks like you will need more info on the screw hole placement.

    Sendler, its good to see another Audio guy here! I plan on using my Carvewright in the future for a DIY speaker project, I plan on making the Wilson Watt Puppy clones. I thought this machine would be perfect for speaker building. You ever hang out over at the HTguide?
    Most folks are afraid of heights, me I fear width.

    If you want to post a Carvewright file it is not a JPG but the mpc file(the one you get when you 'save as'. Then anyone of us can open it, & work with it or evaluate it.

    Sorry, I guess I didn't scroll down far enough.
