OR, if the board is both wider and longer than the design board! There are, however, instances where Scaling is not allowed. But let's keep that for another time. let's allow this new member to eat the elephant one bite at a time.

Whats up with that! Yes keep it for another time. What I was informing WLKJR of was based on his original question

"OK, Michael, here's your chance. I got this thing up and running(amazing for me). I did a simple carve on a piece of scrap birch plywood, just our name, The Knights. It came out ok but the size was much smaller than the carve dimensions on the program. Reckon what I did wrong? Must have punched something in wrong when setting it up in the machine. This was the very first carve so I'm a complete newbie."

Scaling will be called for if the actual carve board is narrower than the design board. This is one bite/step a new user needs to be aware of and often one of the beginner mistakes. It was not stated if he "stayed under the rollers" or not so we can only assume it was a length scaling issue

Baby steps and one bite at a time.

Just a quick side note, I thought this thread was dead at post #17...I was very sad to see the turn it had taken, as I am a bit of a newbie too. I have met many of you at the conference and thoroughly enjoy this forum and the people. So to see the humility and grace of many and the genuine concern to help is just awesome and I am thrilled to see that the original poster is making progress. My rose colored glasses are still working . Thanks folks!
