    Default rotary jig and centerline

    Has anyone done text on the rotary jig. I am trying to do a litho for an event and keep running into a snag.
    the last letter of the text starts carving in front of the first.

    I have carved it multiple times and saved the whole mpc as a pattern and it still does the same thing. Is my picture too large for the space?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I going to buy more pvc.....

    Does it have to do with the jig rolling back and forth for the centerline? Could it be a tracking problem?

    I don't thinks so.... It even did it when I made a pattern of the whole mpc and carved it with the 1/16. I may have to start over from scratch.

    Well that just makes no sense! Could it be the font??

    on the old style (ED Baker rotary jig you had to do a mirror image of text because of the rotation, might want to try that? I have done raster text on it !
