Tips on proper lay out for the jig
What are the recommended techniques for setting up the design for the rotary jig to reduce a possible broken bit? This is a question I've asked myself as I am sitting here laying out my first carve. The software already prevents a pattern or design from being place over/on to the part off ends to eliminate carving into the jig which is a great thing. One thing I question is the "part off" indent actually carved?
in this layout the patterns are placed far enough away from the part off and drops straight down into the pattern area.
This uses a carve region with a feather to ease the bit into the carving area.
On this I set the part of dia. to 2" and no lead in carve region.
This one still has the 2" part off and a carve region with a feather.
My choice would be either that had the feathered carve region as they ease the bit into the carving area.
Looking for others thoughts on my line of thinking!
