Making Pattern HELP

[dunracin]

I need someone to make a fairy simple pattern for me. Can Anyone help?

The parts are 3/4" deep and I want to cut them out of a piece of wood.



The file is attached also.

Hope this is what you want. Perhaps someone will import it for you if you do not have the dxf importer. Once imported, assign the cutting bit to it with max pass of .125, and depth of .75. Be sure to use a backer board and hold the boards together with double back tape.

Thanks floyd.

Ok taking Floyds MPC file, adding the 1/16" straight bit, with inset, and max pass, at .75" deep this is what I came up with.
Butch this will be close to the right width of each piece. I suggest you carve one, check the width, change the inset and do it again until you get the proper width of each piece, then set each cutout to that inset and carve the board.

Thank you, thank you.

Shouldn't there be tabs at the bottom of the piece to prevent them from coming loose?

These are not done using the cut path. As I mentioned in the first post use double sided carpet tape to hold it in place and use a carrier board. Thus your cut out pieces will be stuck to the carrier board with the tape and hold in place while carving. Or you can remove the bit I placed on it and use the cut path tool so you will have the tabs. And another way is to make the tabs manually.

Eddie: I appreciate all of your help. I am a real novice at the pattern making. I would like to have the tabs and of course will still use a carrier board. I just don't know how to go about it.

Here is how the parts are being used.



Thanks again

here it is using cut path. You will not see the tabs but they will be there when it carves. It uses the 1/8" bit with each pass at .125 cut depth. You will not need a carrier board to cut this one.
You will need to bevel the center part, and cut the angles on the runner ribbon by hand.
